The Property

This rough map is accurate (ish) as of June 2016.  The property is heavily shaded by two mature trees at the back;  in summer, the shade reaches the edge of the lawn nearest the house.  In winter, once the leaves have dropped, these shaded areas get some sun.

I don't have exact measurements of the property, but it's small, and my main veg beds are the brown areas surrounding the patio next to the house.  The perennial beds extend from the garage to the back of the property.  There are several dwarf fruit trees scattered about, mainly growing against fences and walls.  The front garden is very small (about the same size as the garage) and is in shade most of the day in summer.  It is in full shade throughout winter.

See post Map of the Garden for further details.
