The thing is, I miss the arid hot climate of Texas. We've been in Seattle for over 10 years and have very mild cool, wet climate. So going back to Texas reminds me of how easily things grow with the warm weather. I built a greenhouse here in Seattle to try and recapture our Austin weather, but it may just be time to move back!. The photo's from a print so it's kind of lousy but there are palms, cacti and even a few heat tolerant ferns.
