Using 'plot' vs. 'garden'?

[Penellype]

Language is interesting - we have our own quirks here in York. Here a street is called a "Gate" and a gate (in the city walls) is called a "Bar". Of course most people couldn't care and spend a lot of time in one of the city's 365 pubs (not bars...).

you can tell its raining outside, can't you

I'm with DWSmith, a plot is usually found in a cemetery here.

On the farm we have our House Yard, which is the fencing around the house including the front/back and both side/gardens. There's the Fruit and Nut Food Forest starting up outside the House Yard, near the Hay Shed.

Normally here in suburbia, you buy a Block of Land to build your house on. And a house is a house, whether it is detached, semi-detached, one or two storey. You'll find Blocks of Flats, and Apartment Buildings.
They do come up with some very Posh names for the more expensive Flats and Apartments. Which always gives us a laugh.
Bit like roads. You can have Tollways, which are often now Freeways. Then there's Motorways, which are usually tolled. And they are buiilding a new road bypass system in the nations capital city - it of course is not a roadway/tollway/nor a motorway......it is a Parkway. Some roads in Sydney should be termed a Parkway - because in peak hours it often looks like a long carpark.[

We have one of those in england.
We call it the M25.
