Currently experimenting under Mediterranean climate, in an area "blessed" with the hottest summers in Europe. Some selected subtropical plants do grow, if managed well.
I grew up in an green-rich Oceanic/Continental climate area, not too far from the coldest village in France and a couple of hours driving from the Alps. Quite the opposite of my current location but still very interesting to compare :)
Recent interest in entomology, ecovillages, upcycling, etc.
