Consider Your Climate

source
ongoing lessons in geography, botany, climatology... I can't really say I pay alot of attention to this because our climate is so moderate... within one square mile there may be dozens of microclimates, within your own yard there may be half a dozen or so...

The challenges here are coastal in nature - wind, wet, presumably some salt air (we're about a mile in) - it just doesn't get HOT enough here to say, grow good tomatoes, or corn, doesn't get COLD enough to make lilacs really happy, but, on the other hand, roses bloom all year long.
