Hello
the climate is temperate
I plant the seeds in April, and they start blooming in late June, this year maybe a little later, because we had unusally low temperatures this year in June,
the secret in my case beside the sunny location, is a very fertile land, and plenty of water. since we have long periods of drout, my irrigation system, connected to a deep well provides the rest. so water is free, I just have to pay for the elecricity powering the water pump
every flower and vegetable in my garden is on the overgrwon side, but I don't mind
this years new experiment is the decorative little pumkins
you will see the results in autumn
