In the year 2015 we started to cultivate plants: mostly plants that share some history with man, many of them producing edible parts. We are situated in agricultural zone 8b (lowest temperature measured -8°C). Olive trees and some citrus species still grow here. More pictures of plants will follow; as yet, plants are still mostly rather small.
