    You made a good job of that shrub Janice. Steve, you are making me so jealous with your lovely display. We have a good show of flowers on the larger plants but little on the smaller stuff. What feed do you use?

    Market Hall 1835 - 1963

    Birchfield Road Perry Barr

    As far as I remember there were no specific car parks for these flats. I had to visit a number of the flats up to 1992 as part of my job and often parked in nearby side roads to avoid the wrath of residents

    We love hydrangeas too Kat. We only have three, a very large blue with masses of flowers on, a Lacecap which is still small but loaded with flowers just coming out, and a Standard white, again with masses of flowers.
