Default Is there a list for the best US cities for gardening?



Actuality the OP said best place to garden. I guess I have problems
with that idea as gardening to me was bringing out the best with what
you have. The potential to improve poor land and the satisfying reward
of trying to and reaping what we sow. This is a lot of work.
Having someone do your garden is akin to wearing gloves in life.
Getting dirty and playing in a larger sand box I think is the way to go.



Besides if you play hard enough you won't need a gym account unless it
is a social contact that is desired.

The Garden of Love

William Blake

I laid me down upon a bank,
Where Love lay sleeping;
I heard among the rushes dank
Weeping, weeping.
Then I went to the heath and the wild,
To the thistles and thorns of the waste;
And they told me how they were beguiled,
Driven out, and compelled to the chaste.
I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.
