Sherry, Thank you for the information in regards to the water issues. Might have to look into that before we purchase.
Sue, Thanks for the information about all the plants you've had success with/know will be successful in the area. I love lilac trees
. I am not a super huge fan of roses, but we will more than likely have some when we get some land, because the SO loves them. I definitely will have some shopping to do. I do not have many winter or wet appropriate clothing. Most of my wardrobe is beach attire and sandals
