Hi There ,

I am in the process of buying a house in Liverpool , UK and the house
is SSE Facing . The house is new so obviously will the garden , the
question I wanted to ask was exactly how much sun shall I get (I can not
get into the property yet as its still being built) ? When will the sun
approx go and the shade come in , its a two storey house and the
dimensions of the garden are a bit strange , they are 31ft in length ,
33ft width but the left of the garden its starts at 10ft width then up
to 20ft until its gets to 31ft (so two diagonal sections as such until
it reaches the far side of the garden at 31ft)!
In the 10ft section I wish to put some decking in so I shall be left
with 31L , 25W very approx .

What plants would you recommend to a complete novice , I would like some
herbs and spices if possible , would top soil be an issue as its a new
house ?

I am very sorry for the vagueness of this question but I can not get
into the house until 10sept and I need to get things ordered before the

I presume you could go to a local library, and look at the local
newspapers for the equinoxes (March 20, and 20 September), and the
Summer Solstice (June 20, you may as well look at Dec. 20 also, while
you're there). Usually, the weather section will also give sunrise, and
sunset.
