Agree....He's so enthusiastic, it's contagious! He makes you want to run your hands through a field of lavender!

Those seeds from the nuns garden are probably so pure and adapted to that region the plants just grow like crazy. AWESOME!

My wife and I are living in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa. We loved your story! Thank you! I am growing about 35 different veggies and 40 kinds of herbs viz.: 5-6 different tomatoes, turmeric, beetroots, beans (5x) inclusive of yard long beans, butternuts, basils, lavenders, thymes and so on and so on! My wife is the gardener for about 34 years and she got me into veggies four years ago. Thank you for your passion and opening up other gardens and to share in gardemers lives. Neels Coertse

That huge potager looks awesome, but the fact they compost pretty much al their crops is criminal. If you are not going to eat it, donate it. Otherwise it's just an enormous waste.

@jayt9882 6 жыл бұрын

You took the words right out of my mouth (so to speak) I too was thinking what a criminal waste - should be donating it to local hospitals or old folks' homes or something...

@TheLilaSky 5 жыл бұрын

I mean even if they build a cute little vegetable stand and pack it up and sell it outside the garden.

@squirrel9936 Жыл бұрын

If they're going to throw it out....at least donate it right. But on the other hand....that much compost is probably why the garden looks so good...and likely accounts for their seed raising mix volumes lol

That's the same kind of rocky, clay soil we have in CA. HARD to dig & plant but worth it. Sometimes the drainage is too good, but I guess dryer soil is better than soggy soil! I never knew that part of France has such a similar climate & soil to many parts of the western & Midwestern U.S. Very interesting!

@doneyhon4227 7 жыл бұрын

France has almost all the climates that the US has. The only climate that we don't have is the equivalent of the Nevada desert.

@@Jeuro38 The Provence has the same mediterranean climate as California. Just have a look at the American Mediterranean Garden Society in order to learn more on the subject of habitat and climate zones. There is a crucial exchange and influence between plants from Cali & the Med.

How can a country that produced the chaos of the French Revolution and Reign of Terror have such a preference for order and geometric shapes in its gardens? Also, compare the simple orderliness of French gardens with Baroque French architecture. Then compare the simple orderliness of British Georgian architecture with the wildness that you can find in British gardens. I think the two countries got mixed up somehow.

@@flowerfairy1950 If you are talking about a few that ferry cars across rivers, I remember a few on the very rural outskirts of Sydney that were, indeed, free. And a couple of late night drug fueled expeditions that did involve making use of them.
