But everything else we grow from seed, or buy the tiny mini-plugs in March and bring them on ourselves. It is quite a chore emptying all the containers before the winter and cleaning and storing them. We buy fresh plant compost every year (sacks and sacks and sacks of it!)

Are you French? and where in france do you live? as a young girl, my dad was military, and i lived between toul and nancy for 2 yrs. met my husband, he was a young g.i. and moved to michigan after he finished 4 more yrs. france is beautiful. my folks rented a place in a small village off the base. and of course, i didn't appreciate all the history that surrounded me everyday. loved the dances in the streets as a high school senior. the french were so protective of me as a young american girl. so, polite, good, kind, to me. loved the experience.

No not native French SewNso, but the brain is definitely French now. We moved here 19 years ago, and couldn't imagine being anywhere else. We love the country, the culture, the people are welcoming, the quality of life is much more relaxed than we had in the UK (but we are now retired).
We are 60kms south west of Limoges, on the Dordogne border, and right in the middle of a Natural Regional Park. I think like the world over, city life here would be quite frantic, but our area is one of the least populated areas - also the area with highest unemployment so not all good news for some.
Here's a link in English about our region
