Hi Dino, the Tuscany it's very impressive, I have visited several times. Lucca is beautiful, the "Torre Guinigi" it's very unusual.

Hi,
The UK weather can have all seasons in one day, Thursday this week in my area it was wind, hail, sleet, and sun in one day.
Most weather can not really be predicted from day to day, today was warm but Monday is going to be horrible weather according the forecast .

Simply adorable garden Luca,

The ferns look great, I love the little bridge.

Overall a beautiful garden.

with warmer summers and higher calorific light levels I wonder how sabals, rhapidophylum hystix and other cold hardy contenders would perform in lucas' garden?

really does look nice there!

Welcome Luca and thanks for sharing the pics of your beautiful garden.

Wonderful garden! Very lush and green and if I dare say, very British in a way. I was expecting a much drier garden for some reason.

[stephenprudence]

Yes It's a beautiful garden definitely.. interesting as like Tom says it does bare some resemblance to an British garden in both style and plants used, though at the same time there is a Mediterranean factor in there.

First of all, excuse me if I reply rarely... I use a lot of time for write in English and I need time off!

In my house, there is an irrigation system, but it's use only 3 month, June, July and August. Without, most of the plants would die...
Anyway, I think that your idea of Italy is correct for the south and center Italy (Florence ecc.). Northen of Italy is quite green!

Sorry Phil, I don't have a palm trees... and I'm not expert of palm trees. Several species (more hardy) resist to our winter, but the best results are obtained near the sea (Liguria) and in the south Itay.

Sorry Stephenprudence, I am not authorised to send Personal messages...I can't reply!

Luca who needs palms with a garden like that! it looks fabulous.

I have to remember that palms are not everyone's idea of a garden plant sometimes they can look out of place and depending on what you want to achieve (for example japanese garden-mainly bamboos and acers)

anyhow
