Clearly I am not in zone 7 anymore, not in Kansas either. I don't even know what zone or how my location fits into the forums.

Wow, no one answered you! I will say that yes, you are in the midwest in southern IL, though it may start to seem like the northern part of the south. Do you know what I mean?

Did you get settled in and start gardening at your new place? How did it go for you?

Yes, you belong here. However, this specific forum isn't very active. Be more specific. I like Exchange-Seeds forum. I also like the Round Robins. I belong to a group and have gotten to know that group of gardeners. For whatever reason, the location system of connecting with people in the same location doesn't work that well. Maybe not enough people from one specific area. We'll take you, though! Heidi
