Depends on what you want to grow and how cold or hot you want to be.
In California some excellent growing climates have water problems - lack
of and quality.
The Pacific Northwest is hard to beat, I like the Pacific Coast, never
gets too hot or cold. Others like a cold winter or hot summer.
The Appalachians,, the Gulf Coast, The Desert Southwest
I've seen great gardens almost everywhere I've travelled.
Pick a place you like, you can learn to garden anywhere.
If you plan to garden professionally, look for a long growing season or
have some saleable winter skills
