Feliz Natal para todos, e um prospero (e verde!) ano novo!
It is the beginning of December. This morning between the rain showers, in dazzling sunshine, I went for a walk to see my winter garden. This was a truly astonishing experience because I found 50 different species that I have planted in the last few years all flowering – I mean now altogether in December! (In November we had night temperatures down to 5C and only 60mm rain.) For those of you who have limited experience of gardening in the Algarve I hope the following list might be helpful. PIC Passiflora mollis
