Hey from Dudley

Hi all, like many joining to hopefully get a few pointers as I go along. I have a few things already surviving in my garden, including a magnolia that blossoms twice a year somehow??? Trying to make my standard lawn and hedge garden into something more interesting for the wildlife and edible for me, and maybe some of the wildlife.

 

Cheers Rusty, I'm not quite a gardener but I guess you are either called Rusty or you are playing with the 'rust' affecting some plants???

 

Hi @beefpotnoodle ,



Welcome to Gardeners Corner

You're not too far from me.

Your Magnolia is not that unusual. Their flowering is prompted by daylight length, so you'll find that they can flower in Spring and Autumn. There are other plants that are like this such as Aubrita, Alyssum and Wallflowers.

 

Welcome to GC, beefpotnoodle, prefer a bombay badboy, although the recent jerk chicken is pretty good

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner beefpotnoodle.

 

Thanks all

 

Where about's are you? I'm literally a few hundred meters from the castle! I see you are Worcester way, @KFF

 

I'm near Kidderminster. Originally from Kingswinford.

 

My bro is Hayley and one of my friends is crossways green by hartleybury! Would love to live somewhere a bit greener

 

Welcome beefpotnoodle. You said 'I'm literally a few hundred meters from (Dudley) Castle'! I think we went there before Cromwell knocked it down. And were roughly a couple of miles away from 1936 until came here to Dorset in 1965.
Best Wishes to you from

Thanks, yeah I'm about 100m from where the Earl of Dudley kept his armoury. My garden used to be the sewage run off!
