Front garden

Two years on from buying the garden flat in this building - I was desperate to get the bulky bikes out of the narrow hall and into a bike shed in its garden - the garden, my garden!, is taking shape. The bikes have been in the shed for nearly two years, fortunately. 

Before - concreting up the wall

During - clearing out the raised bed area for planting;
the cubic metre of topsoil soon disappeared

Still more "during" - starting to level the paved area

The morning after - Mr Fox has visited the new topsoil

There will be planting among the paving stones (aka "the bike path") as well as in the raised bed. Although this small area won't hold a lot of plants, I hope to have something in bloom throughout the year, and some scented plants. Any suggestions?
