Zone or State identification

It's a good idea to be as specific as possible. For instance, I am in central Ohio, zone 6. It's important to point out that I am in CENTRAL Ohio as my growing conditions are different from those in Cleveland up north and Cincinnati down south.
Even in central Ohio there are microclimates within the metropolitan area. My conditions in Upper Arlington (northwest)are slightly different from the conditions, say, in Canal Winchester (southeast).

I think you get the best advice from those who can truly understand your weather and those who have similar conditions. Just a zone number does not tell the whole story. Ask those in zone 7 in OKC. It's a whole 'nuther ball of wax.

At AHS Plant Heat Zone Maps by State. - Vegetable Gardening Forum - GardenWeb I have posted links to several zone maps: heat zone maps, freeze frost maps, hardiness zones. There even links for Canada, Australia and perhaps even Europe.
