Welcome to the site  :D

I'll move this over to the GYO board, but for starters:
- which direction is south / how shaded is the plot?
- what's the soil like?
- is there likely to be a drainage issue?
- what are the main perennial weeds (ie the nasties)?
- what's parking like?
- are there skips / manure deliveries?
- where's the nearest water point?
- is there much vandalism?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
