Wow, lots of questions and I'm sure you will get lots of answers. My main and primary draw to the west side is that it is truly temperate. I spent most of this weekend working in the yard, comfortably. I know my sister on the east side cannot even contemplate this until perhaps April. But, we don't get the extreme hot over here (another plus in my book, but not in everyone's). Slugs are a major problem, but a daily 'garden tour' with a salt shaker does wonders. I have lots of hostas. Here's a view down my back hill to our farm pond in the fall -- very peaceful.
