Beds or paths

Where I am at the moment the garden was already laid out by the owners. 6 x 24ft vertical bed of various widths with various path widths. Some the wheelbarrow fit, some don’t. 1 x 20ft horizontal bed slap bang in the middle of the garden with the most ridiculous wide path. 3 passes with a 19” cut mower ! And the other side of this bed was all soft fruit and the far end was a pointless little glass house, 1 standard greenhouse pain of glass high. ( that I got bored of crawling into to reach anything or weed ).

Since I’ve been here one polytunnel has gone up over the 1st vertical bed. The little glasshouse has gone and been replaced by a second small 10 x 10ft polytunnel. Most of the fruit has been removed and 3 more raised beds have been put in. Some other fruit has been moved to make space for my 3rd polytunnel.
I still have the ridiculously wide path. It’s not quite wide enough to fit another bed in.

Now the planing of the new veggie garden from scratch is a brain melter !!! The only thing I’m 100% sure of is there will be no grass paths! And it’ll have it’s own water supply not take water from the house.
Other ideas kicking round are : Think I’m going with shorter beds and narrow enough to reach the middle.
Thinking I want all the tunnels directly behind each other (obviously facing north to south) so from (hopefully ) the front it’ll just look like 1 tunnel. From the side it’ll look massive! The rest of it is a blur. That changes almost daily.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.
