Garden: Taming Cousin It

Starting with a blank canvas is harder than you might think, especially when the budget is close to zero.   So it is especially frustrating to have precious plants die, or worse end up being in the wrong place.  Trust me, when you start with a field of bare earth, it is very very easy to put things in the wrong place.

Between the house and the drive the ground slopes gently to the south; the area was initially colonised by weeds with poppies dominating.  The gentle swaying heads put me in mind of the swathes of grasses I'd loved at places like The Garden House in Devon or in the iconic schemes of Piet Oudolf.  We could do something here, maybe.
