Cara Yvonne,
Yes, but nice, nice, nice! We beat the weather, didn't we? (!) Bacione, Ingrid
Frightened of getting lost, I arrived with a friend, far too early for Yvonne's superb luncheon party but it was lucky we did. We saw the large pond, the waterlilies and the happy frogs before the rain.
The pond is a triumph, as is the planting around it. It would be of great interest to those wanting a natural pool rather than a traditionally manufactured swimming pool.
Yvonne has chosen the planting with care and I expect wishes she had more time to enjoy what she has created.
This blog is all about how to cope with gardening in continental climate. All the books and TV programmes talk about 'Mediterranean gardening' but few places actually have a classic Med climate - hot dry summers, cool wet winters. My garden is 450m above sea level and temperatures reach over 40 degrees C in summer but drop down to -8 degrees C at times in winter. How to cope with about 50 degrees temperature range? It requires a whole different approach and I cannot find any books that really help, especially regarding cultivation of vegetable & fruit.
