Incorporating a LOT of organic matter and compost is always a good idea. And while you are doing that form up your rows and/or raised beds at the same time. It won't be long before it is time to plant

Have the soil tested,

First of all you need to decide what you want from your garden and what you think you will need. Make a list and then let us know, so people can advise on how to proceed from there.

Chuck, the British tend not to use raised beds unless they have big problems with drainage or soil. A high percentage of Brits don't grow their own fruit or veg either. However, growing these at home or at an allotment (plot) is increasing amongst us.

It is the same here. Just about anyone over here under 40 still thinks chocolate milk comes from brown cows and is clueless about where or how their food ends up in a store. If there were ever a major disruption in the food supply these people would all starve to death or resort to stealing their food from people like you and I

Aah, Sheal, the youngsters (50 and under) around here know exactly where food comes from. We are surrounded by farms and ranches, and even in the nearby town folks have a small garden or vegetables in containers. A community garden started recently, and seems to be doing well with small plots alloted to those who are interested. About the only people who don't grow something for fun or nourishment are those who are in apartments with no balcony, or those who are too frail or elderly to do the work.
If it weren't for those who don't grow vegetables, I'd have trouble getting rid of the excess. They will even gladly accept zucchini!!!!

To me, that garden looks good enough although you would have to exert effort. Plan on what garden you want, make a rough design on paper by drawing or sketch. Say you want flowering plants, where to pu? With small trees, where to put? And when the design is done, the next step is to fertlize the soild. My suggestion is to take away the weeds and plow the soil to remove stones and rocks. And then obtain the planting materials.

I think you should calm down, stop stressing and think clearly. I am completely sure that the solution will come to you on its own. also I think you should renew it completely and add some freshness into it. Add new plants and it will be amazing. Hope this helps! PS have a happy New Year!

Stressing over your garden is not good for you or your garden, Just sit back and think of what you would like to grow and in time it will come to you. Gardening should be relaxing and some thing to enjoy. Ask the people in your area what they have done to make their garden soil better and see how their gardens look it just might make your garden look good too.
