Hello people
I reside at the mediterranean island of Crete, I love gardening and want to share my little knowledge and seeds/plants
Currently I grow herbs ( basil, mint, dittany, thyme, lavender, savory, sage, rosemary etc ), taken mostly from wild plants
I grow my own vegetables every summer, and have a collection of old local varieties seeds
I have orange, lemon, fig, locust, pomegranate trees and of course Olive trees
I also have a collection of cacti (trichocereus pachanoi, peruvianus, bridgesii, lophophoras, opuntias) which I intend to grow in size
and variety
The flora of the island is filled with medicinal herbs and plants which I would love to intersperse throughout the globe
So that's it, see ya all in the Garden :D

Well there are many, just to name few: Cretan dittany (Origanum dictamnus), Ironwort (Sideritis),
Cistus creticus (Labdanum), Marjoram, sage (Salvia fruticosa), Tilia europaea, etc.
Here's a list (big one) of some plants http://www.nhmc.uoc.gr/en/museum/photo-archive/selection/images/groups/8964 (http://www.nhmc.uoc.gr/en/museum/photo-archive/selection/images/groups/8964)
Where I live there are also many acacias, which I will have to identify some day
