Update on my ugly dumping ground

2018. Now! This area of the garden is by no means perfect nor finished yet. It hasn't turned out how I envisaged it at the beginning, I've had to change my ideas to suit the ground but I just wanted to show you what difference a year makes. It has been a source of anguish, frustration, a lot of sweat and back ache. It has also given me something positive to focus on through times of anxiety and depression. 2017, then.

    Good work @lovegardening77 looking nice

    I've done some pea shingle paths too this year.  Looks good but not nice for bare feet gardening!

    What a difference a year makes! You should be proud of yourself. :)

    What a transformation! It looks lovely and I like your idea of a staggered pathway, presumably using some of the original bricks, Take lots of photos showing progress then you can look back on your efforts and say I did that.

    You've done a lovely job with that space, it's looking great. May I suggest a nice bin store with a green roof to tidy up the bit by the gate?

    What a bit of brightness and color you've brought to your garden.. and such hard work to achieve it!  I remember your original post last year.. thank you so much for the update.  I always wonder about OPs and their gardens.  Your pictures and progress are an inspiration to us all.
