Plan 1 - retaining the washing line and lawn between the concrete path and garden.

 
The clothes line removed and most of the planting done.

Plan 2 - extending the garden to the concrete path, the clothes line to be removed later.

The roses in the foreground are overrun  with anemones in this October 2005 photo, a herb garden is flourishing along the path and the fuchsias start about half way down the photo.
