west Michigan - about 30 miles east of Grand Rapids. Dang cold here.
Your gardening techniques/rules are so much different from mine. We are thinking of moving, maybe to the Alabama coast. I would move my landscape business, which means I’d have to learn how to plant for tropical, different soils, different shrubs.
Here in Georgia we have that dreaded red clay. And bad drought and heat. In my neck of the woods, we also have deer which are quite pesky.
