Garden redesign - yes again

My Garden redesign....yes again.

Right my workforce.....Dad complete with hearing aid on show .....drilling to build the framework....he is a little slow but at 80+ I forgive him that. All the work is being done by me and my Dad....we have a working relationship in the garden I have the idea he has the patience and time and loves to be needed, and he is good very good...Plus he's cheap....
Stage 1




Starting to come together...stage 2.. the area directly in front of the raised bed will be slabbed and block paved.



Stage 3 or 4 depends on your POV....



Stage 5 maybe .....it will all become obvious as time goes on..... but the slabs on the right are a step up into the garden the rest is as they say in the planning stage.

I have the vision and also a caggy handed approach to "powertools" and a O/H who I cannot do this sort of thing with we argue far to much. He still foolishly believes he is allowed an opinion in MY garden.

Thanks.....I love gardening but like to change I think a garden that does not change in some way no matter how small is a dead garden...they need input and love.
