Gardens in Portugal

We have a very unique climate here, we can grow almost anything as we are in between the mediterranean and Central European climates. The climate here is, of course, very different from Northern Europe but it is also very different from The Algarve or Spain.

If you live on the Atlantic, West Coast of Central Portugal, also know as the Silver Coast, you get the cooling sea breezes in the summer and dense fog in winter.

We want your experiences of growing things here in Central Portugal so that we can set up an extensive reference source for information about Gardening in Central Portugal.

In Na Horta Jackie McAvoy gives monthly advice for the veg patch from her experience of gardening in the Coimbra district. Feel free to write in too so that we can set up an extensive reference source for information about gardening in Central Portugal.
