Throw a board in to divide that back section from front section and plant ornamental shrubs and make more of a potager style garden. Or plant some climbers on a vine.

Add a few stepping stones to avoid wasting space.

Divide it into two squarish beds and have a ground level access between them.

2-3 pavers giving you a place to stand and reach back.

We have a similar box in front of our window. We made the back half a shelf (on a hinge so if we have to get to the window we can get in there) and placed decorative items or the occasional potted plant.

Move it three to four feet away from the foundation. It’s not like you poured concrete. Move it.

Make the front the back. Move all the dirt forward. Probably not a good idea to have it against the house.

Add a couple of stepping stones halfway back.

Some raised bed gardeners make a board with some blocks screwed to it underneath so it won’t move , you then drop it in place in between the rails of the bed to give you more access. Move it to where you need it in between plants.

Wait until next spring and redo. For now a few stepping stones will help you get by.

I’d probably cut it back so it’s not so deep

Having that against your house is terrible for your foundation. Do you have drainage?
