Some people do not seem to suffer the consequences of a world crisis. A Chinese gambling magnate has just paid US$ 330,000 for two white truffles, the largest one from Tuscany and the other one from Molise, at a charity auction.

Hi! My youngest daughter, Natalia, helps as a volunteer in Save a Bunny San Francisco. They have at present more than 80 bunnies in the refuge and little or no money.

Just a reminder that the Iris Gardens in Florence will be open this year between the 24th of April and the 20th of May. A magnificent collection with over 2,500 varieties.

Once upon a time... in the Old, defunct Forum (God bless its soul!), we had a very funny thread on Forum Characters. I found the link that shows those characters and it is still very appropriate for the Community. So here you are....

Winter is almost here and this time of the year is not a favourite season for gardeners.

You can also go by train Rome/Florence/Lucca. There are local trains from Lucca to Bagni di Lucca (Fornoli station).
I would not dare doing anything like that. Years ago, I used to do composting with garden clippings but.... fish..... just too smelly. Go and buy a bag of fertiliser at the nearest nursery.
Benvenuto, Fabrizio. Best wishes regarding your future plans. Please let us know about your experiences.
Following on Fillide's post, I would be inclined to go to the notaio...
I agree with Dylano, perhaps it may be of interest to you to get a copy of the "visura" to know who is the owner of that piece of land.
Hi Mick and a very warm welcome! We all look forward to hearing more from you. Best wishes will all your future plans.
I also received a PM last night giving me the sad news. Carole was a great lady, very intelligent and a real asset in the forum. I personally feel very sad knowing that she will no longer be with us. A friend sent me this from another forum and I think that, for those of us who never met her before, we would like to see what she looked like. http://expatsinitaly.com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=12859 Carole, may you rest in peace.
Don't worry, Patz, geckos and lizards know how to look after themselves. They were frequent visitors in my former house in Australia. I never found a dead lizard and I had dogs and cats.
Somebody told me that parsnips need a long, cold winter and I have never lived in regions with those characteristics. For this reason, I prefer to go to my friendly greengrocer's. Whenever climate conditions are not suitable, I do not take any chances.
Glad to hear about your successes. Regarding failures, I´m afraid parsnips are not the topic for me to give any advice; however, mange-tout could be suffering from not enough shelter or maybe the soil was too rich. In that case, they would have produced too many leaves and not enough pods.... Was this the case?
