I think everyone else already said it; the number one thing is make sure you have place with good direct sunlight from the south. If you can get it next to a south-facing wall or other heat-sink so much the better. Where I live in Seattle you don't have to have a greenhouse to grow tomatoes, but you will probably want to cover them in a hoop house or something until July probably. If you don't, you can still get fruit, but it will be in September. Be sure to choose appropriate varieties, in generally anything the seed catalogs claim will riper in 75 days or less is probably a good bet, and Russian heirloom varieties have always done well for me. I once tried to grow Hillbilly tomatoes here; this was a wonderful variety, but I only got a few fruit very late in the season. I suppose a greenhouse would be great if you have the money to spare on it, of course. Seattle is right on the Puget Sound, so cold weather is mitigated, but we have to deal with cool springs and rainy and early summers. Things that grow very well include brassicas (esp. kale and Asian greens such as mizuna), leeks, pole and bush beans, peas, lettuce, strawberries, etc. Cucumbers grow too in the open here too, but they are challenging. I have never had good luck with bell peppers at all, but I know some people who have grown them in a good micro-climate. I have had good luck with winter squash in the past, but one year they were very disappointing, and made practically no female blooms. That year was especially cool. In short, chose your crops and varieties more carefully here, and don't try to grow warm-weather crops without a good sunny area!

Thanks for the response Pee Wee. I completely disconnected the cable box and still have no sound on the TV. Even when using the standard reception and getting static stations, there is no sound. Does the TV have a sound tuner/card like a computer can? I'm wondering if there is a method of holding down buttons to reset the original default setup. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance,

photonic quantum computer weapon. I've experienced this at two different new build condos and it would happen at the same time everyday... light hum or drilling sound, but sometimes very weird hypnotic or even musical. it's used for gang stalking, please be careful and keep the mind strong. i believe they're hidden in many condos and hotels.. to create a quantum tether to each person, to allow the harassers to essentially create a virtual environment around you, walk around you invisibly and able to steal your credentials by what's viewed on your screen. they're also able to achieve voice to skull, brain scanning and manipulation. to create a password that cannot be easily stolen, is to use a password generator and move most of the browser off of the screen so the newly generated pw is not "seen". from google: "The sound of a quantum computer during cooling is primarily the humming and mechanical whirring of cryogenic refrigeration systems, such as dilution refrigerators, which cool the quantum processor to temperatures near absolute zero (around 50 millikelvin, or -459°F). This extreme cold is essential to stabilize qubits—made of materials like niobium, silicon, and aluminum—so they can maintain fragile quantum states. "

Some folks have a problem with no appetite, they need the calories. Not me. But my dad has that problem. However, the solution to having no appetite is to eat a little something. An "appetizer" because that is what it is for. I try to get him to just start with a few crackers spread with peanut butter . . . or a piece of cheese or a dab of chicken salad. For health, try to do something with whole grains and not a lot of sugar. Cereal is great too. That's why we almost always have oatmeal of one type or another ready to go. I happen to like brown rice cakes with nut butter and some fruit or home made jam on top. That's a "gluten free" alternative to crackers. I actually have the opposite problem, I need to find ways to tamp down my appetite . . . I have to assiduously avoid appetizing foods . . .
