I have made numerous changes in my side yard garden in the past couple of months. I started this phase of my garden when I removed the wooden gate, or half of it anyhow, and replaced it with an arbor gate. My raised beds are having a hard time with plants at the moment with the heat, but I'm expecting to make some new additions in another couple of weeks, possibly when it isn't so persistently hot out there.
Meanwhile I am finding my pathway blocks are too close to the raised beds under the gazebo type awning we put up last year... I keep hitting my head on the protruding cross members at the top. As a result I am not using the blocks to walk on, and what little grass I did have is slowly disappearing. My next project will be to move the blocks more towards the middle. I have a problem right now with the window of opportunity, which is very narrow before it gets too hot to work outside. I have about 2 hours in the morning, if I start at 7. I'm thinking this a job that will definitely not get done in 2 hours... after 9 forget being out there. I know that will change a little if the temps start to come down some, but I really don't like hitting my head, but I really do like being out there puttering around.
I added a new plant to my front porch, it's called a Purple Flash Pepper... I do not think they are edible. I have never seen one before, so not sure if it is really suited to reside in its current location. It is in a big clay pot, so it is moveable
