| Most people probably already know this, but there is a new USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map effective January 2012. The hardiness zones have either changed or just been updated on the map. For example my hardiness zone, according to the new map, is zone 6b. On the old map my hardiness zone was 6a. It may not seem like much but those few degrees can make a big difference. Below is a link to the new map. |

| Thanks, plantingman...we all spread the word when it was published a while back. I don't think that anyone is going to be changing what they normally do anytime soon. Many of us like to experiment with the cold and heat tolerance of our plants, though. |

| I've links to several zone maps at Zone Maps. Heat zone maps, freeze frost maps, Sunset zones and even some Canadian and Australian zone maps. |
