Hi Eric, welcome to the Forum. I quite agree that you have some lovely plants there - the South of France sounds very inviting at present, it is rather cold and damp here in the South of England. Yes, your English is very good, much better than my French!

You have a lovely garden.
The South of France is a fantastic place to be a gardener!
