Dear Sandy, gardening is about what you want and where you live and not about what other want or think you should have!
My garden is a gravel garden, that is because of the thousands of miles I walked behind lawnmowers cutting lawns in straight lines!
I do like to see the formal gardens, because I do not have to do them anymore, or be in charge of idiots! So I just plant the things I like where I want them!
When I was in charge and the said incident happened with someone going for a swim that could not swim, I was allowed in the pub! But only with my Boss who was a Retired Admiral! Thee to four times a week he would take me out for lunch in the Queens Rooms for lunch and to discuss matter arising, as he called it! Of course you were not allowed to drink beer, it was strictly wine, Port or Brandy!
Sandy grow whatever you want, and put it wherever you want, as if the whole world was the same, it would be very boring!
Regards.
Neil
