Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Suggest a simple layout with zones, in words. 2. Give 10 easy-care plants that suit my conditions, with why. 3. Ways to cut weeding, mowing and watering. 4. A 30-minute monthly routine and a once-a-season list. 5. What to do first if I only do one thing this year. Plain UK English, no Latin names unless useful. For plants that grow well in my region, use web search and name the page you used. If it doesn't search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search. Stay in this ChatGPT chat.
