The garden is at it's most colourful now with iris's and roses looking good. Thinking ahead, I find July and August there is a lack of flowering plants.

I live in Marche and have had, for 4 yrs now a plumbago growing in a pot as I thought it was not hardy enough to withstand the winters here.

Did look in search box for answer to the above but did not find a supplier? Does anyone know of one capable of providing mixed seed in bulk, native to central Italy.

Just enjoyed a lovely bass cooked on the BBQ. Not being very scientifically minded, if I was to bury the remains, head, bones and tail and plant something on top would it rot down and become what we know as blood, fish and bone ???

did not need to re-align dish so still pointed at Hotbird. Rai 1 etc have been shifted to channels 851 and BBC World News stayed on 352. Further cutting back of a rose also helped (thanks Angie), so all in all everything is ok again. Thank you again for all your help and suggestions.
the suggested cures but the situation is still the same. Will have to re-aline dish methinks but thanks everyone for you help anyway.
The Little British Foodshop is doing a very good job offering a wide range of foods we cannot get in Eurospin....they have my support.
Neighbours machine had stopped working too! Got Fabriziano (elecrical shop, Sarnano) to take a look...50 euro's later and a new part and all is well again.... Maybe the first port of call ?
Thank you both for your replies. I am high up and we do get terrific winds when they come. The plant in question has produced 2 suckers so I will pot them on and when good and strong will try planting one in the most sheltered part of the garden and see what happens, who knows, if we had a mild winter it may survive ? Thats if the culprit digging up my bulbs (ate all my young broadbeans, 6" high) and my autumn sown onion sets leaves it alone ! This gardening lark is not always easy !
a lovely place to live with lovely people, shame about the rest. Hope you sort things out and return soon.
thanks for that Andrew. However, it is a bit of a long way to go, so ended up getting one for 229 from Euronics nearby, not an Indesit but a Beko, the cheapest they had. Now listening to the gentle hum of a functioning machine...music to my ears !
to everyone for comments / advice, really helpful. Sanje48, semenostrum.it site seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Gala P, will report back. Agree with Annec re: lack of plant varieties available here and often high prices (obviously not the bog standard ones). Thank you all again, very helpful.
Have looked at Eurospin web-site too and cannot see any washing machines. May need to travel to bigger stores ? Have PM'd you sprostoni...
Will ask where nearest Eurospin / Ard Discount is to us that would stock them, we live at Gualdo, Nr Sarnano. At that price cant say no.
