    Problem here is that this garden is broader than it is long and  there just isn’t a corner where storage/compost etc can be stored that isn’t in full view ... think I’ll have to invest in a woven hazel hurdle.

    It is a problem Dove, isn't it. Although our garden is a different shape to yours, it is on a slope, so everything very visible from the house. Although I've got a trellis fence across half of it and apple trees etc., I'm just having a rethink for when the extended fence goes up and old hedge removed. I'm hoping I can gain another 2/3ft of space sideways for the 'working' bit.

    I don’t know what variety of forsythia we have at the top of the garden, Lebensraum perhaps, but it makes a great shield for what I think of as the builder’s yard behind it.

    At least it takes the pressure off @Lizzie27.  relax and have a me me me day.
    Dove, is there any way you could put one under a window so that you're looking over it into the garden?

    Our garden rubbish is small bits of chicken wire, sheep netting made into plant supports, compost sacks that the manure came in, (don’t want in my shed,) spare pots, got a nice big storage chest for the ones I use,  black trays that hold 6 or 8 plants, always blowing around the garden,  bits of wood, might do for a stake, an old table could stand plants on it.  Panels of glass might cut up for GH, And on it goes ......

    Gallery of Shame. An old fun thread where pictures of gardens like the one you described were posted and analysed  - sort of an anti-instagram thread

    That’s a good idea for a fun thread @B3
