I sure like the climate here as well, it's just the gardening that's an issue for me.
I had to leave almost all of my beautiful succulents back in CA when we moved here a few months ago, but I still took three of my succulents.
Hopefully next summer I can get them back, when my mom visits us. She offered to take the plants for us, and is bringing them with her when she visits us, so I am definitely grateful for her.
