I am doing backyard garden from the scratch. It has 16 * 12 meters. I
was thinking on diving it in two parts: the left for a lawn (10*12) - A
and the right for plants (6*12) - B.

The part A has full sun during all day, while B has sun all day in 1/3,
aftertoon sun for 1/3 and no sun 1/3.

The reason I was choosing B for the plants was that it would allow me
to have sun and shade and therefore a larger variety of plants and also
because during the summer the sun is very strong in part A.

But now I am thinking on doing the other way around.... I canot decide
and I have the bulbs waiting...

What is your advice?

If you were in the UK, I'd say lawn in the sun, but I'm not sure whether
that applies to N Portugal (which if I remember aright is where you are)

OH!
Totally different ball game !!
