The NW's loss is Texas' gain. Cheryl Seems to me that the terrible gardening weather has been in Texas recently. Temperatures in excess of 100F and no rain aren't really conducive to growing much, are they? Seriously, the Pacific Northwest has lousy vegetable-growing weather but probably has the finest weather for growing the widest variety of flowers in the US. I can't wait to move over the Cascades.
