in a fit of fairly severe procrastination, I've started sketching out what I think I want to do with the garden. We moved in about 9 months ago, garden is shit and I had hoped to have made a start on some of the prep during the autumn, but this did not happen (opposite 'future workshop' is the base of a former workshop which is going to need smashing up and removing, so no idea how decent the soil is on that side but it gets good sun).
Main aims are to hide the fences where possible, add year-round interest and keep thing's nature-friendly. A sparrowhawk has been spotted in the garden before, probably coz we get a lot of small birds. Woodland area is overshadowed by a tree in next door, but I want to mix in lupins, echinacea and stuff, hopefully they'll be ok. It's mainly ivy at the moment.
Future workshop will only come in when the conservatory comes down.
So, hive mind. What mistakes am I going to make?
