Thank you, growin.
A little bit more information. The place is in backyard, to the left of the window behind plastic wall there is an door to the house with a porch in front of it. From porch you can take a path under perdola to the veggie garden. I have another picture but it was taken before we put greenhouse. Strip where grass is removed outlines location of greenhouse. This strip is actually were door of greenhouse is. Future path(s) will go from under perdola to the path between house and greenhouse (greenhouse is parallel to the house and i already removed grass between house and greenhouse to create a path to the gate from backyard) and to the greenhouse door. Width of greenhouse (length from the stick to the end of strip) is almost 9'. Distance between greenhouse and house is 11'.
I am still not sure should i remove all grass, build path(s) and then plant something in spare space between existing path and path to the greenhouse door.
This is west side of house, opened to the south and west sun. My whole backyard (result of several years of my learning exercises in design and gardenning ) is done in relaxed style. I want to create something nice in this corner because it will be first that people will see when they enter my backyard gate and take path between greenhouse and house.
I like ornamentals that provide interest whole year and will not disappear for winter, something with foliage like sweet box "Humillis" that i have planted in frontyard but i don't know names of a lot of ornamentals that i see in some gardens (i grew in another country and English is not my native language, so i know names of veggies but mostly nothing from another side of gardenning).
