The USDA has released a new hardiness zone map.

USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map
The 2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones.

For the first time, the map is available as an interactive GIS-based map, for which a broadband Internet connection is recommended, and as static images for those with slower Internet access. Users may also simply type in a ZIP Code and find the hardiness zone for that area.

No posters of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map have been printed. But state, regional, and national images of the map can be downloaded and printed in a variety of sizes and resolutions.

Thanks! I bookmarked it. This one is alittle more precise for me because I'm in an area within and area.

You can't always get what you want, babe

But if you try sometimes, you just might find

You get what you need.

Thanks for the heads up!

Now:
just how do we think the growing season is going to be this year?
Is the messed up weather going to continue? :shrug:

I'm also an area within an area! It's kinda weird. I'm 6b, but go a few miles down the road and it's 6a.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. - Thomas Jefferson

Economic control is not merely control of a sector of human life which can be separated from the rest; it is the control of the means for all our ends. And whoever has control of the means must also determine which ends are to be served, which values are to be rated higher and which lower, in short, what men should believe and strive for. - Friedrich von Hayek
