    Advice or ideas on narrow garden landscaping, partitioning and dealing with a raised patio

    Hello @Dan1981, I think it depends on what you find when you remove the paving and start digging. My building experience is limited so I can’t advise on the technicalities here. For anything that...

    The level perimeter base sounds good. I got away with simply making a rectangle from 2x4" pressure treated wood and a few shims because my wee greenhouses are up on a deck.

    What should I do with my Salvia farnacea in winter?

    Lucky you, no frosts. In England we throw them on the compost every year and buy or sow new ones in spring. In fact, I thought it was an annual!

    I am often puzzled by modern life.

    The term I dislike on the weather is fresher, "it's going to be fresher", no you mean it's going to be cooler/colder. It is either that or they say "more comfortable".
