About the climate I really deplore that my isn't a litle bit warmer. If I lived in Mediterranean zone or even in Ypres my garden would be full of exotic plants form all over the wourd.

@Seweryn,
If this is a drive by photo, then you have a great eye to make beautiful photos. The pictures I made are never so beautiful.
About the climat: I'm glad it's warmer then your climat, but I'm still pissed off that I don't live in a microclimat like Dalmatiansoap.
I guess there is nothing to grow tropical plants like the climat of South Florida for example. My wife cames from the Dominican republic. But when you go over there in august, it is really too hot. And I think many plants we grow here, would end there totally shriveled up.
Basicly except of palms, there isn't any Musa till today (protected) that I could succesfully overwinter without killing the pstem to the ground. I will keep trying tough with good old Musa basjoo. The climat is very humid here. So it isn't all about temperature.
Beautiful Belgian garden in the link that you send ! But this garden will need a lot of protection in the winter !! And some plants need to be moved inside.
It's almost impossible to overwinter Phoenix canariensis here for example without serious protection and heating cable, and i see that he haves one in the garden.
Palms that you can grow here are Trachycarpus, Butia capitata, ...

about the weather: they are giving snow here for saterday !!! and i heared that in the UK the traffic is blocked because of a serious snowfall !
