Wow, looks like a bomb went off.
First clear the rubble.
Second, looks like a section of the fence is being held up with braces.
That's no good. Replace entire fence and match the adjacent fence.
Plant tallest stuff you want at the back.
Then vegetables if you want,
flowers if you want,
lawn if you want,
patio.


You also want to consider the quality of the soil if you're going to
grow edibles. I garden in a city, where vehicle exhaust has deposited a
lot of lead in the soil. I had to import all the soil I use to grow
vegetables or herbs in. Flowers I can put anywhere, but if it's going
in my mouth, I want to be sure it hasn't sucked up toxins from the soil.
