Still trying to make up my mind....but a lot depends on where I'll be living by growing season. Am going to probably put off starting seed as late as I can for that reason. Hoping to move by at least the beginning of April.

Sun City Linda · January 17, 2015

Where to Zana?

Zana · January 17, 2015

Probably still within the same city. But looking for a bungalow if I can - space where I can garden, but also with living on mostly one floor, so that I don't have to do stairs as much as I am right now. My knees just ain't what they used to be. And although I had knee surgery (Arthoscopic) to clean out the right knee and some repairs back on Dec 3rd, I don't have much stability in the knee and it gives out unexpectedly, especially on stairs.

Sun City Linda · January 17, 2015

Oh gosh I understand. I hate living in two story homes and my knees are ok, old, but ok.
