I should probably give a quick over view of what’s spinning around in my tiny little head already. So I’ve got half a chance of making sense of all the ideas I put on here!
At the moment ( obviously it’s all changeable, and probably will change ) I’m thinking Cottage garden style at the front of the house. One or both sides of the drive, I’m undecided. Veggie garden & 3 polytunnels not a clue on location! Definitely not at front of house (planning boys & girls get very very touchy about structures in front of a property) . Where ever it goes there will be no grass in that area. There will be at least 2 sheds going next to the garage (1 the same size as garage) with space between for a clothing drying area (like a small carport). I’ve started as small wooded area at the top left corner. This still can be moved and extended if we want. The whole area will be deer fenced & veggie garden will be rabbit fenced.
A grass area is needed for the boys to play. The ditch going across the plot needs turning into a feature somehow. Not sure what to plant around that to make it look good?
Do I do it all in different sections like grass, wood, cottage style , veg patch. Or do I try to amalgamate the lot and just have back & front separate? How can I soften the view of the polytunnels? I think they are going to be very visible from the living room . Just one of the many compromises that’s going to have to be made. Not really looking forward to watching them getting hammered by the bad weather.
Think that’s the content of my head, for the garden anyway
