Large garden, small house or small garden, big house?
Comments (74)Large gardens are all well and good if have the energy & ability and you can afford the time (or money) for maintenance, but it's not always ideal. The size of garden should be appropriate to the size of house and appropriate for the lifestyle of the owners....See MoreHit me with your Layout ideas!
Comments (9)If it were me I would definitely block up the back door as you are planning. I would also get rid of the door to what is presumably the understairs cupboard. Even if this is steps to a cellar you can relocate the door to the room next door. I would fit the kitchen with the washer/dryer/dishwasher sink in a row. On the opposite side I would have tall units then the hob. I prefer built in fridges because they don’t stand out and will sit more comfortably in this galley kitchen- if you had two side by side fridges you would have more space than in an American style fridge but personally I would have one fridge and one tall cupboard for storage. Even if you have a range you will likely want a microwave so instead I would have the ovens you want stacked in a tower- the image shows mismatched appliances and the microwave is too high but you get the idea! You could also have extra depth cabinets on this side of the room. They are normally just 8cm deeper but that probably mean 15% more storage. You could also look for cabinets with a lower plinth and taller door because again this means more storage. I would try not to crowd the walls with cabinets for fear of drawing the room in and would prefer to see open shelves on the sink wall. In the second part of the room I would have a small table and chairs. I wouldn’t have full depth storage here as I think the room being lower will make it feel tight. But you could have a demi height, reduced depth cabinet for loads of extra storage- I have mirrored mine to help the room feel bigger....See MoreShow us your views

Comments (104)Sonia (and all), can I ask for your help pretty please?? I‘ve just bought 2 potted olives to put outside my door. They’re classed as young but the tallest is c8ft and the other c7ft and the trunk is quite thick with big crowns. The pots are 50 x50. I enquired re watering and was told to water at least 3 or 4 times a week During the summer and once in winter. I asked for the volume but was told no fast rule as just had to be kept moist and I can’t overwater (my concern) due to drainage holes (Although the pots aren’t on feet). Problem is how do I know if it’s moist at the bottom and I also thought young olives shouldn’t have waterlogged roots? They‘re also full of olives btw. Any help would be appreciated. I thought I’d try and take advantage of all the gardeners on one post!! I could go back to the company obviously but feel like I’m going back with contradictory advice just from the net and They’re expert growers.....See MoreRicky Watkins
