Veggie's random garden

I'm sure you'd hate P's input. He'd dig everything out, clear it to bare soil and lay slabs. Probably not a lot of character though. I would then have to persuade him to allow plants.
I'd send him to help, but the last time he removed a tree stump for a friend he had a stroke
He did covet the fencing/baby gates.
Your plan of a walkway between the ghs sounds completely sensible (for once ) send us progress pics please.
