I like your priority in your opening post, "I finally bought my own
garden (and house)". And your trellis and fence too.
The only thing I would add about TJ is (I don't know if you have noticed yet), the sap is a drippy pain when pruning. Every cut leaks, whatever the time of year. Ours is pretty much like Lizzie27 has said already. It is a nice thing, I am still fond of ours, despite having to prune it. Site it well.
If you make a mistake which we all do, don't worry. Things will be moved because you put them in the wrong place despite researching, you will lose plants sometimes despite best efforts. And sometimes things you thought would go badly turn out lovely. :)Just enjoy it.
Thank you @Rubytoo the garden was definitely as important as the house 😁 no I have never pruned the tj so that is good to know! I am also fond of mine, bought it in the dying plants section two or so years ago and proud I managed to revive it, it flowered first time last year, very exciting!
