When I was watching this video I was so focused on what he was saying I almost didn’t notice he was standing in front of a fig tree.  LOL
 
Cool... Or, I guess very warm. Definitely normal temps in south Italy. In Sicily it's a lot more open so non-native crops get a lot of shade cloth. Tomatoes, peppers etc. In Calabria, what I'm more familiar with is a tendency to inter-crop.... with less shun tolerant plants growing under or near fig and olive trees. 

Michele here has a good channel with examples of a traditional Calabrese homestead. He doesn't live here. It's just old family land in the hills.

I watched the video it was quite enjoyable even though I couldn't understand what he was saying I could tell what he was talking about.  Nice property.  Thanks for posting that.

He's Calabrese. A lot of Italians wouldn't understand what he's saying  :D

I do love his channel. He's an auto mechanic. He posts for the most part about three things. Fixing Fiats, growing and making salumi.

Teresa thank you so much for posting. We just don't get that hot for that long in Berkeley CA because we're so near the ocean. It never gets too hot for tomatoes in my yard. But a lot of other vegetables will Bolt in midsummer. I already knew that Peppers could be grown on the surface of the Sun. There were a lot of great hot summer ideas in that video you posted I liked watching it very much thank you for posting. Sorry my eyes are shot, and need a rest.
