Wow Rick! You are full of knowledge!! Yes, my zip code is 98290. It is Snohomish, but we are outside the city limits. I don't really know the different areas yet, but my neighbor said our "area" of Snohomish is called Dutch Hill. Even though our actual neighborhood is a different name. I live not far from 88th St / Hwy 2, up a big hill. The nearby elementary school is also called Dutch Hill.
We have had frost the last couple of mornings here. My growing season would have already started in AZ, so I feel like I'm behind the ball. Glad to know that I'm not. I like homegrown tomatoes all summer, will have to figure out how to make that happen. Also where to plant them without the deer getting them? I will check out the varieties you mentioned. Thanks for the recommendations. I guess I will shoot for an April planting then.
The grass and the moss... Our lawn in the back is in the sun and shade. Part of it is sloped. Our front is in full sun. I think it is starting to come back in and hopefully will crowd out the moss. Our neighbors have some as well, but ours is by far worse. I think our yard had been neglected for a bit before we moved here.
Have a lot more cleaning up to do before I can get to planting anyway. Keep the sunny weather coming so I can get it done.
