I really applaud anyone embracing their outdoor space - as most just want a square of badly looked after grass - so I’m staying positive here but it’s going to be a part time job I think.
Truthfully, were it mine, I’d concentrate on one bit this year and find my feet ‘cos otherwise I fear you’re gonna get scared off. Even just keeping on top of your paddock is going to be a deal, never mind tending to your kitchen garden plus any ornamental stuff you have. No doubt you’ll get there but you’ll need a fuckton of machinery and tools just to get going.
I’ll give you as much advice as you want as I applaud the way you’ve gone into this outdoor living neck deep from the off.
Good luck man.
