Thanks for your reply, Jon. Yes, we do have a south facing part of the
garden we can use but it also very exposed to wind as it faces open
land (farmer's field next door). The other side of the house is much
more sheltered but only gets the sun in the morning.

Which side would you recommend?

Thanks

Jo


Definitely the south side. If you only get sun in the morning in the
sheltered part you'll end up disappointed. You will probably need to
create some shelter though. If you want to create a living windbreak,
you'll probably need to create some shelter with a temporary fence to
get it off to a good start.
