It sounds like you live in a lovely spot! The climate here in Ohio is very
cold in winter & hot in summer. We can have below freezing weather from
October through April, though there are always warm spells in there that
get us into the 50's & 60's (sorry, I don't know the Celsius
conversion). Snow can be sporadic, so a winter mulch of leaves & wood
chips is a good idea. Though to be honest, I have given up trying to grow
tender things. If they can't survive on their own then I don't want them!

With that said, I've been surprised at how many things I can grow from mild
climates like South Africa, Mexico, and even Crete. Anyway, thanks for
introducing yourself to us. I think you will enjoy our group!
