Hallo!

Excuse me, for my bad english, please be patient with me!
In my country, the gardening is not developped as in england, you are very interesting.
I hope to learn from you, and I can be helpful in someway!

Re: Luca from Italy
Hi Luca, and welcome
I notice that you are from North Italy so you will have warmer summer's than most of us, but what is your winter like ? What winter lows to you get ?

Re: Luca from Italy
Many thanks for your welcomes!
Tomorrow, if don't rain, I make some photo for you, but my garden is not a tropical garden, I don't know if it's interesting for you...
Where I live, the climate is more extreme compared to your, hot in summer (maximum over 30°C) and in winter the minimum temperatures falls generally around -5°C, with peaks up to -15°C, the average temperature is 0/+1°C. In summer we have a little rain, practically only as thunderstorm (and this is not good!).
I don't have a real greenhouse, I have a temporary structure, near the house, that can be disassembled, wherein the lowest temperature is 2°C.

Re: Luca from Italy
wow, a fantastic garden, even if not tropical If you have enough space erect a greenhouse or polytunnel to overwinter things. We also use rope lights under cover to protect plants.
Your garden has great potential
