Palms Won't Grow Here and Other Myths: Warm Climate Plants for Cooler Areas
A interesting book challenging the convention and norm on more "temperature" sensitive plants.

Aimed at the american gardener but the sound principles apply in the EU just as well. If nothing else a good read.
Recomended for those long winter evenings to inspire and plan for the spring planting. (It is responsible for starting my interest in growing "tropical" garden plants!)
