Congrats on the new home!

What are you planning to plant in the kitchen garden? Are you starting seeds indoors? When?
And how do you like Vancouver, WA? I'm asking because David (my husband) and I are planning to flee L.A. in about 2 1/2 years. We want to move where we can afford to buy a home (we rent here) and have some land (2-5 acres?). We're considering Bellingham, WA and plan to look at Olympia. Any thoughts and/or advice? And, yes, we like cold weather and rain.
