how to decide which aspect??
Hi all. now this may seem like a very basic thing but I am still confused a bit. If you were looking out of my front door a little to the left would be East ( where the sun rises- i know that much) so looking out the back door and onto my garden then i guess that my garden would face North or should it be north west??? To make things worse because of the way the houses are laid out as I look out my back door down the garden the strip on my right also gets the morning East sun for a while which i guess will have effects on buds and things opening when its a bit frsosty and the sun shines on them? So for that part of the garden am i looking for plants with a north aspect east aspect or what? I am a bit confused here. Saying that most of this border gets sun for a lot of the day from what i can recall of the last time we had a summer!

Rotating the aerial view will give a good idea of the aspect. Magnolia and Camellias are a couple of plants that can end up with tatty flowers when subject to early morning sun on frosted buds, however, in general I would not worry too much. |
