Thanks. It doesn't look like the kitchen garden is bordering the party field in the map though.

@Eugene - I'd add that it the HoMe draft quote does specify this as being the "front door". Perhaps it should have been disregarded completely, but Fonstad liked to use HoMe details wherever she could fit them in

"the field to the south of his front door - it was bordered by his kitchen garden on one side and the Hill road on the other" - sounds like it's the field that is bordered by the garden and road, rather than a door.

@HorusKol - Indeed you're right, and I guess that cannot be the reason why she thought there was a second door. I'll change my answer.

@IanBush I think "Bag End" means where a road ends. In the Shire map, you can see the road to Overhill deviates from the road to Bag End at the foot of the Hill, and goes around it.
