Six days and a half day to clean up - they call it hard landscaping for a reason

The surround-a-house is complete, despite the downpours.  The planting areas are a quagmire, but they will dry out eventually.  I have spent a couple of days with cousin Nicola identifying suitable plants.  I do have in mind grasses and verbena bonariensis, alliums and other tallish plants to complement the grasses in the strip garden.  The triangle part I think will have bulbs and the black mondo grass as a carpet, but need to check that the site is suitable.  I think there will also be some alchemilla to soften edges too.

The wide entrance area, which catches the afternoon/evening sun (if it ever shines again) will have a seating area, probably with the settle that is in the house, and pots and planters to soften it. 

So here are the pictures, I hope they are fairly informative - will be for those who have seen the house.

Oh, nearly forgot, three posts in (to screen off the shed when it is moved to other side of house) to create a screen for storing ladders, wheelbarrows, bins etc., and also to create a log store.
