Yes cottage garden is on the right with a hedge on the road side.
You’ve got it exactly  Smile . I want to have to walk round to see what’s at the other end and in corners. Very good point about a winter/ evergreen bed , as well as dotted about.

It doesn’t have to be fruit. Just something edible I can grow on the rabbit proof fencing around the veg garden. Also don’t mind the bunnies munching on it from the out side. If they’re brave enough to be in the vicinity of breeze then they probably deserve a little snack .
How about Hops - you could make your own beer then. Smile

My garden is an open layout....my husband won't let me touch the lawn. It really lets it down

RE: The garden from scratch - Small chilli - 15-04-2021

Turns out I’ve got a couple of big big rocks to use in my garden . 

Any ideas? 
I’m not really a fan of rockeries.

Build a wall.............or a pillar ..............or a sundial............ or mark the entrance to different areas of the plot...........

Its hard to tell how big these rocks are as there is nothing for scale. I have a feeling they are very BIG and one person would struggle to pick one up? Huh

If they are as big as I think they are, you could build a mini Stonehenge circle somewhere on the plot then charge people for coming to see it! Big Grin

PS Are there any 'Henges' on Mull?

It’s just one field over. You might recognise the mountain in the background    Big Grin .
