    Hi, all. I live, with my wife in Cradley Heath. I'm 75 years old and, like my wife, am long retired from the world of work (paid that is!)
    My present and probably last garden is small. The rear plot is 34' x 21' and the front is a little smaller. Our bungalow faces East/West, the back garden facing East.
    I am a plantsman at heart and always pack my garden with anything that takes my fancy. Although, after being in our bungalow for three years, I have recently had a severe attack of the "sort it out a bit" syndrome!
    I love jungly type plants and cannot abide summer bedding - apologies to those of that persuasion. I always have to have a pond of some sort and at present I have a raised hexagonal shaped one.

      Welcome to Gardeners Corner lutleyyeltz.

      Armandii is your man for, shall we say, random planting! He has a wonderful garden and you will probably see pictures of it along the way. :)
