    Morning everyone,
    A brief hello from sunny Switzerland (oh no, wait, it's cloudy again).

    As the handle suggests, we're 900 meters above sea level.

    All the best -
    900 m up

      Hello and welcome to the forum @900 m up
      If you could update your profile that we can see what Kanton you are and if female or male that might help in one or the other case.

      Welcome to GC 900 m up. :)

      I don't suppose it's easy gardening at that height.

      Thank you.
      Well, @Sheal, there are surprises.
      And the shorter "season" is not the only one.

        Interesting challenges @900 m up. We are 45m above sea level and 20kms inland from the Atlantic so very different.

        Thank you, @Victoria.
        That's way too hot. I hope you have a full water tank.
