Hi Connie,

No, I don't really know about your zone. But thought I'd say "hi"
in a different group, anyway.

I assume you'll be establishing a new teaching practice, so
how does that count as "retirement?" I can't imagine you'll
be any less invested in the little horrors. (meant entirely
lovingly, of course!)

Re the zone, I'd consider it a risk to try zone 6 plants, as
apparently you will be quite close to the fuzzy edge. Although
you will of course learn more about the real micro-climate when
you find a place.

cheers!
