Another Hi from West Yorkshire

Hi so we've had a bit of ground in front of our house for 20 years and we try to keep it under control and even get a bit giddy some times I weed a bit or even plant something but to be frank we havent a clue. But as kids are growing up it seems theres some chance we will be able to give it a little time and attension so need some help ideas and inspiration.

Garden faces South east with a small section of beds that run behind the house and are in almost complete shade all day, all year round. Any knowledge we can glean from anyone is going to be a big step forward.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is willig to be patient with us!
