Here's a pic of the area from my back yard. Sun generally shines directly into this corner. Foot traffic between the door and the driveway passes to the right (I'm also thinking of installing a walkway). I want to do something with the area adjacent to the deck next to the gutter downspout.
For starters I was thinking of grading and filling in that area with pea stone or river stone, and I could put in some pavers to support some sort of table, keeping it clear of the wall. I was thinking of maybe something like a 3 tiered table, a high tier in the back to support tomatoes and maybe something that hangs, a middle tier for herbs, and a low tier for annuals / pretty things. I am also thinking of maybe trying to work a rain barrel into the downspout to serve these plants.
Thanks for your thoughts!
