welcome john! i'm having trouble getting your pictures to come up...but i always am having a struggle with photos! Greece always seemed like a magical place to me. i've never visited there, but my folks visited the Island of Crete many years ago. the photos of the ocean and all were so beautiful. we even got T-shirts with Greek print on them! how wonderful growing in pots! we have two Olive Trees we've been growing in large pots for 2 plus years. they get very unhappy with us when we bring them inside the cabin for winter. i'll enjoy hearing what you have to say about growing plants in pots.
It's so good to have you here with us John. WELCOME to GardenStew from West Lothian in Scotland. I have a friend who lives Nr. Kalidonia in Crete and I envy her the lemon trees, olives and pomegranates that she can grow in her garden. Thanks for sharing your lovely plants with us all. :-D
