Would never suit P with his love of straight lines and tidiness, would it? Looks a lovely 'secret garden' type. You should take pictures from the same viewpoint when everything is in full leaf/bloom as a before and after.

Back soon"
There is a ditch there, before the fence. I used to be able to walk along the ditch but its so overgrown now that I can't even get down into it. Its one of my longstanding aims - to walk in the ditch again. Most people want to do something like see the Pyramids or climb Everest ................I just want to walk in the ditch.
Be careful, you might get lost, many ditches are deeper than you are tall!

This is one of my new growing areas!
It used to have a roof on it with a couple of seats and a table underneath but the roofing sheets warped and, instead of channelling rainwater into a waterbutt, it formed a pond on the roof!! Rather than re-roof it, or demolish it, its been enclosed with fireguards and a safety gate - to keep the dogs and chooks out. The square beds inside are from a stacking wormery.
I've put a layer of hotbin compost in the bottom of each square and top it up with last year's tomato compost prior to planting courgettes in each one.
The canes are from the cutdown bamboo and I'll grow something up them - beans or squashes or similar

Thanks Danny, Not sure whether that's a compliment or an insult.
RE: Veggie's random garden - Broadway - 03-05-2022
It's a 100% compliment

How about this for "tidy and organised"?
These are the remains of the netted GHs and a previous raspberry bed. Most of the Black pots have spuds in and they're sitting on the "roof" of the shelter in the last photos. I'm hoping it will suppress the weeds beneath and keep the slugs away from the spuds.
This is definitely a job for the future.

Don't worry, I'll soon fill in the gaps between the boxes and mask the edges. I tried putting all the boxes together but they didn't fit the space and looked even more daft than straight lines.
EDIT Just wondering whether diamonds would be more effective.........and fit?
