Design for the backyard


The dimensions of the back garden will be 24' X 10' with a "tail" of 3' X 10'. In the NW corner are the compost piles as well as room to store dry material like straw for them. The shed hides this view from the road; and John's sunflowers might hide the shed. :)

The beds have their dimensions marked on them, the main west/east path is two feet wide; the north/south paths are three feet wide and the small paths are one foot wide. This should provide enough room to tend the larger beds and somewhere to put one's foot as one tends the smaller beds.

The ==== indicates vertical supports, and the XXXX indicates where the garden path meets the patio area.

  1. Very organised! Really looking forward to seeing your garden develop.

    When you've got a few more posts (but you don't need that many!) do come over to blotanical. It's a really good place to meet other garden bloggers and you'll get lots of good feedback, advice and comments.

    Hope to see you there - but will see your blog on Google in any case!

    Good luck,

  2. First comment within the first day! Thanks Di.

    I had a chance to look over your blog too and I have to say, I know what you mean about finding rubble under what looks like a nice bed. :)

    I'll definitely check out blotanical. I could use some more gardening friends.
