Never before has my roof-terrace-of-modest-dimensions been so green. Quite a few plants survived the mild winter: clematis, hydrangeas, lavatera, gaura and a strawberry plant. But there was still room for some extra green joy so I added digitalis, lavender, geranium, plumbago and mint, and I am also trying to grow some arugula and broad beans. It is a daily delight to be surrounded by all this abundance.
