Where is the best place to live?
I would like a couple acres where I can have a nice garden most of the year,
not to cold and my wife wont feel like she's in the middle of nowhere. I live in So-Cal now but its just to busy any more. Some place maybe the kids will move to if they get married. Any thoughts? Thanks |

I am very comfortable. I was thinking maybe Redding. |

I am very comfortable. I was thinking maybe Redding. Only if you can go up the mountains and out of the "HEAT". Redding puts you about an hour and a half north of Sacramento. Emilie (mleblanca) in Chico could give you a better idea of the region. San Luis Obispo County, Humbolt, Sierra Nevadas above the heat, near Sacramento or Fresno. The "Bay Area", for new arrivals, is only for the very rich ($500,000 and $traight up, for a lot and a house in the out lying regions, much less two acres). -- Billy Bush & Cheney, Behind Bars |

I'm afraid to even ask what the land prices are out there. Redding is going to be HOT in the summer. |

Billy Bush & Cheney, Behind Bars Sonoma is basically a rural county, with a lot of vineyards, once you get away from the Hwy. 101 corridor that runs through it. Our dogs chased a fawn out of the yard a coupe of days ago. There are fewer deer that ten years ago. Howevre, my mother-in-law lives in a retirement community and deer there browse the lawns and bushes daily. -- Billy Bush & Cheney, Behind Bars |

Dave I live West of IH-35 in the hill country. No tornadoes there. g Most of the twisters stay right on or just East of IH-35. I think the hills in the hill country break up the air currents. Might be why property values are higher... Granted, the soil is not as good (lots of limestone/rocks) and the plains are alluvial topsoil, but I just use raised beds. Cotton, Sorghum, corn and other grains grow well on the East side. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I just like the loooooong growing season! I have a pair of 'mater plants out front in a 25 gallon pot right now and there are some green fruits on it, but I'll probably have to move it into the greenhouse shortly and set up the winter heat bulb for it. I should have ripe fruits soon, and more blooms later to give me ripe fruits in March. I just listen to the radio for frost warnings. -- Peace, Om Remove - (dash) to validate gmail.
