>> You may be wet on the coast, or arid in the high desert
Wet, all wet.
I live in the wussy part of the Pacific NorthWet, just a few miles from the coast. Halfway between Puget Sound and Possesion Sound, opposite Whidbey Island. Right between Mukilteo, Lynnwood and Everett.
I love the mild weather, but wish just one part of my garden would have an earlier, warmer summer to make tomatoes practical. Low temps in late Winter and Spring seem to hover right around freezing for 2-3 months.
