Veggie's random garden

My back garden has 3 parts, closest to the house is a patch of "lawn", the GHs some flowers & shrubs - nothing very exciting!
The next bit is the original 28 bed area - fruit trees, fruit bushes and a mix of shrubs, flowers, all in the shade of mature oak and ash trees, both in the garden and in the neighbours' gardens.
The third, furthest part is more open, where the veggies grow.
I've been rethinking the middle bit where all the beds used to be edged with logs. Over time the logs have rotted and the edges become blurred, beds merged and reshaped. I'm moving towards getting rid of all the notional beds on the basis that there are no edged beds in woodland and paths are created by footfall, usually on the most direct routes.. I've been raking out the grass on the paths (to save on mowing) and my vague plan is to eliminate all the grass in the middle bit, especially the bits that have crept into the "beds". Also all the montbretia and vinca. I'm going to start afresh with a few key paths and clumps of plants in between, with enough space to wander wherever you want without feeling that you should "stay off the bed" and stick to the path".
