You will really like this place, full of great information and great people. Enjoy, from another Pacific Northwesterner.
If you look up at all our names, in the upper right corner, most of us have put a climate zone and location, If you ask a question about growing something, this information helps people give you the right advice for where you live. I did not put mine in right away, and people really needed that info from me, to advise on my many questions.
Welcome, Welcome!
