Creating a roof garden in kalkan

[kalkan wife]

I am lucky enough to have a large roof garden. At the moment it is rather bare and lifeless and we spend very little time up there.

Can anyone advise me of suitable planting I can do? I am satisfied that the roof is strong enough to take planted pots and maybe something suitable as wall climbers. The biggest problem, I assume will be the extremes of weather, burning hot in summer and (as was seen this week) some foul storms and strong winds in winter.

Any ideas (with plant names in Turkish if possible) are very welcome.
Thanks

you are right about extremes in weather...and so should think about shade areas and winbreaks...
Potting plants look great..and you should also think about troughs or even large boxed areas that can have drainage areas to runoff water..into your existing gulleys...
If you plant sensibly you can have a great area for relaxation with low maintenance all year round...as to the turkish names for plants...I do not know them all but usually find a book or magazine cutting will help to locate what you are looking for...
