Klima, jord, sol/Climate, soil, sun

The garden is to the vest of the house, and the right side of the garden gets a lot more sun than the left. Sun reaches the patio about 11 o'clock at this time of the year.
The garden lies shelted by the tall hedges and the neighbours trees and the terraced houses also shelter a lot.

No plant beds yet, but a lot of containers that we take care of. The patio is about 30 sqm and is sheltered on three sides by brick walls - warm and protected.

Climate Zone: Denmark is 7-8. Where I live mostly 8.
Climate information: Temperate, humid and overcast, mild, windy winters and cool summers.
(A lot like the east coast of England (which is why it isn't surprising, that it was there, the Danish vikings settled, when they had conquered England)).
Sun and rain information: On average 1500 hours of sun a year and on average 745 mm of precipitation - evenly spaced out over the year (though slightly more precipitaion from late summer to early winther, than during the rest of the year).
Within Denmark we operate with sub-zones 1-4 (4 being the mildest). I live on, Fyn (english: Funen), the roundish island in the middle, and about on the border between sub-zone 3-4.
In Danish:
Højre side af haven får meget mere sol end den venstre. Solen når terrassen ca. kl. 11 på dette tidspunkt af året.
Ingen bede endnu men masser af krukker, som vi hygger om. Terrassen på 30 kvm ligger varmt og beskyttet, perfekt til sarte planter.
Glimrende muldjord, dog let sandet, men vi er også kun 1 km fra vandet. Der er ret meget flint i jorden, det er almindeligt heromkring.

Både klima og mikroklimamæssigt bor jeg ret beskyttet. Fyn er klimazone 8 og ligger trygt og varmt i midten af Danmark. Rækkehusområdet, som jeg bor i, og med de høje tilgroede hække og haver giver også meget bekyttelse fra vejret.
