I only have a yard and overdid the pots thing so I'm amalgamating and sorting them to make the most of the space I have. I've just made a pond by sinking a bucket into a very small raised bed and put a pump in it to keep the water moving and some stones that reach above the water for the birds to stand on as they drink (which they do). I also want to repaint the table and chairs to update them.

Presently my garden is mostly straight lines. Although that is good for DGS's football practice I would love to make it more curvy, get rid of the straight path, put some softer curves in the lawn shape and perhaps create a "quiet spot" hidden from initial view. Would really like to achieve that this year, not too sure that will be possible.
