We gardeners are always complaining about what makes it *so* hard to garden in our own area. I often think how perfect this N Central TX climate would be if the summers weren't so x*#!* hot. (forget the lack of soil - at least that can be somewhat remedied ;-)

A gardening friend and I have often pondered if there really is a gardening Mecca with an ideal gardening climate. For me that translates to short mild winters with a few mild freezes, a lovely long autumn and spring and tolerable summer temperatures without long droughts.
Does such a place exist ???? or what kind of gardening climate do yous desire???

I am thinking about San Diego, but am allergic to fault line slides.

After much thought on the question!!!!!!! I believe I would STAY here in Texas. The Winters are usually mild....The Summers make you appreciate the Winters. I can not think of any place else, that does not have some kind of problems. Key West Fl.(Hurricanes,) Brownsville, Tx. (Water)up North (Winters) down South(Summers)I guess I will stay right here, I think I have already said that once before!!

Where did my message go? It was here when I posted it. Have I been censored?

OOOOOOoooo noooo, I never saw it. I hope no others went missing too. MK had one of her posts evaporate into the ether the other day too :-( I didn't do it I promise - not even on accident! My server has been doing some updating this week. They warned it would be in the early am hours to avoid any disrubtions. Guess us night owls and folks on Euro hours are the new minority. Pooh, Terry, please find the urge to re-post it oxxoxox

David, somehow I knew you would vote that way
but maybe I'll ask you again in August

Now I'm wondering about Santa Fe. Course the price of real estate and living expenses would be very discouraging !
