I posted this information in the old "Northern Tuscany" group and I think that it was helpful.

Located less than a 100 m away from the Ponte Vecchio this centralli located trattoria is excellent value for money. You will find it on a narrow street called Via Stracciatella, to the left of Piazza di S.

It is that time of the year again! Plants see to thrive, but the terrible weeds do it as well.

I did not want to hijack Ronald's thread on Sardinia and the G8, but following a post on the same topic by Adriatica and my own commennt, I thought that it may be interesting for many to see what we are talking about.

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.

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.

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?
