Definitely among the living beings we are the weakest to adapt to changes, without having to resort or other elements of protection of course. Your plants are blooming beautifully, a pity about the insects, my knowledge in this area is null, so I can only send you my best wishes for a healthy solution.
I wouldn't imagine that you would also begin to suffer with these low temperatures, moving away from the seaside makes a noticeable difference even though it's in the south. Although it surely has a lot of advantages as well.
Well, we didn't experience these low temperatures by the seaside, or I just forgot maybe haha. Yes, there was snow some years in the nearby mountains, which were visible from my former home but those were some higher peaks. Now, we are 30km inland from the seaside, not so bad temperature-wise but still noticeable. 😆
Well, that's quite a change, it's getting closer and closer to enjoy more pleasant temperatures. Have you managed to get the plants to recover?
