Garden Advice please

We're getting our garden done this year for our daughter, so I'd apreciate some helpful advice or any good tips anyone could give us. I have added a picture so you can see what we're doing, I think our biggest issue is the Greenhouse/Shed foundations... we cannot afford a shed nor a greenhouse right now, possibly next year and I just wondered what anyone could advise we do with that part of the garden.

I'm not very smart when it comes to gardening, neither is hubby hence we're keeping it simple at the moment, could anyone give us some good advice on what else we could do or how to "use" the foundations untill we can afford a shed.


thanx :)

  • I am also looking to get a Outside tap fitted, how easy are these to do? and would I need to hire a plumber to do this? or a handyman?

    Whereabouts is the house in your diagram. I'm assuming it's behind the block paving/shed?
    A path across the grass to the gate would be nice, otherwise your daughter will quickly wear a track.
    Greenhouse are a lot of work, I wouldn't bother with one, unless your daughter is keen.
    For foundations for the shed, just level the ground and put down some slabs, that will be perfectly alright.
    Outside taps are easy to fit, providing you have the tools and are reasonable at DIY, if not I would get someone in. Either a plumber, or handyman, but try to get someone who is recommended by a neighbour, friend.
  • its at the bottom of the picture, stepping out our back door means your stepping onto the grey slabs
