How (not) to garden in Central Italy
Labels
Welcome
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.

Hi Yvonne, thanks for joining in GBFD; I don’t usually trim my Cistus but I notice they have put on so much new growth this autumn that maybe I should. Christina
Hi, I hope you will continue this blog !
You are a member of MGS. Can you recomment it and are there any activities of the local branches in Italy ? If you were kind enough to answer perhaps just with MGS I would send you my email-adress.
Kind regards
Sylvia
Ciao Sylvia
Thank you for making contact. Yes the MGS is very active in Italy - we hold a number of events each year and try to cover the whole country. Happy to discuss further.
