This is\n the big plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the right, we have created a raised border already, in which herbs, veg and flowers are growing. No railway here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the left, you can see two Silver Birch trees. These were planted \nabout 12 years ago and create an area of shade. Along that fence is the \nremains of the old railway that used to run up the garden and round the \nback where the log cabin is now. A raised border will be built between \nthe trees, coming out into the garden in front of the log cabin, and the\n railway will run along the front and back of that border in an \nout-and-back fashion. The shade and roots from the birch trees create an\n interesting challenge for an amateur horticulturalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grass is indeed dying. We decided to kill it all off and start \nagain, partly because we need to lower the left side by a few inches and\n partly cos it\u2019s terribly bumpy everywhere. We know it\u2019s a mad thing to \ndo, but we are being realistic, and expecting to have no grass for a few\n seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a year rebuilding the house, and with the weather slowly trying to pretend that it\u2019s summer, we have ventured out into the mud-heap that was once our garden to try and work out what\u2019s going where.
