Beschreibung
My name is Giorgio, I am retired and live alone in my 1 hectare of land where I cultivate organic in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia various plants ( olives, oranges, kumquat, loquat, mandarins, avocadoes, banana, etc. ) for self consumption and that mean that I make not business. I also take care of a little vegetable garden and a collection of cactus and succulents. I have 1 dog. The land looks like a botanical garden (paradise).
