You have to start somewhere, so why not create a path from one end of the garden to the other?
In hindsight, this turned out to be the largest project as most of the path needed to be dug up and relaid.

The existing decking needed to be sanded and re-oiled. Lets add a frame and some lights, and furniture for good measure!

If you are going to grow flowers and veg then you are going to need something to grow it in.
And if you have a workshop then you are going to need power.

I mentioned to the neighbour that one day I'd like to build a greenhouse..."Here, you can have this one!" and so began the process of moving, repairing, building and installing my first recycled greenhouse.

In front of the decking was a mound covered in grass. A pain to mow and I had plenty of grass elsewhere. I know, I'll make a few raised beds...that should be easy.
Again, I didn't know what I would uncover once I started.

At the top of the garden is an old greenhouse foundation, and I belive next to it was a veg patch. However, I'd been using it as a storage area for soil as I developed areas of the garden and for the occasional bonfire.

The existing patio had so many weeds growing through it that needed removing. But as normal I tend to look for other opportunities to incorporate! Lets just lift all the slabs and put them back down level but in a new pattern...
...and lets throw in a strawberry patch too.

A selection of plants grown from seed, bulb or cuttings. I collected lots of small glass jars and now have a box of many seed varieties that will last me for years to come.
