Shoot, you are so far north you are barely in the south. Our mosquitoes would keep yours for pets.
On a more serious note, you will never get used to the diseases and pests but you do learn to adapt. It is also nice to have a long growing season. I can't imagine waiting til August to eat a fresh homegrown tomato while reading about them on this forum for months. I have been growing veggies here for many years and can only remember one summer where the humidity was moderate most of the summer. It was wonderful and I remember it fondly. Diseases were almost non existent by our standards that summer.
