    ahah :D;; tu es gentile; I always want to go to UK for shopping of gardening plants and those cell pack for seedling , you cant imagine how expensive they are in here. But sadly we still need to wait a bit longer for i need to ask for visa to go to UK . who knows, maybe Ireland .
    Me and my husband wont have hoilday ( which normally will be south) this year. Still hope we can have a short visit in Alace which just next to Lorraine where we live .

    But the sad thing is , my mother-in-law cant speak English and i cant understand French very well.


    If i join some French garden forum, i still managed to understand the basic, but i dont like French gardening forum.



    I like English gardening very much; you will disappoint the gardens here for always without organization and not well developed.



    People always used the same kind of plants or flowers to decorate their house.
