Yes, well it has it's high points and low points. I like the weather myself. I am not much of a humidity person, desert person, or snow person. The best option is to be here in Denver. Weather keeps people on their toes as it can and does snow 2 ft in a day and then t-shirt weather the next and snow gone after a few days. The soil is the biggest bummer. I am not much of an garden person. I know, I grew up in Iowa and had rich soil. We grew 2 lines of corn once in my back yard going up. My Grandfather grew snow peas in his back yard when he had one, heck he used to grow all sorts of things in the 1/4 acher he had. Blackberries and strawberries the most common as they grew wild. Also, Rhubarb pie was a good treat. Grows like a wead in the midwest. I couldn't belive that I saw safeway selling it for a dollar a stalk once recently. But I could never get in to gardening, I also hate mowing lawn and other yard work. I would zeroscape my front yard if I had the cash. I just grow the weeds almost until it is too tall for the county. I got a warning once already here. I also HATE the humidity. So Colorado for me and WI or OR for you. To each their own.
