&gt; Why can&#x27;t the rest of the country grow that stuff?<p>Yea... That&#x27;s not how plants work. Plants have zones that they grow in, and some are even more restrictive. Where I live, even if I grew cherry and apple trees, I would never get fruit off of them because it&#x27;s too hot here.<p>I like the way you&#x27;re thinking though. As an avid gardener, I just had to dig against this one a little.
