These new maps seemed to be worthy of a thread of their own, so I've issued a Supplemental to The Weekly Gardening Thread.

Each week on The Weekly Gardening Thread, I will post a link back to this thread, so it will be handy.

I think it gets my area right. Brings zone 6a right up the Mississippi valley to Keokuk, in the ‘Florida of Iowa’ which is always just a bit warmer than us 20 miles to the north, and we’re often a bit warmer than the rest of the state.

[Just mythoughts]

Thank you for the post.

I am a ‘wee’ bit surprised the government has not informed US these ZONES are in flux due to man made climate change.

[Nepeta]

The state maps indicate what I have long suspected—the part of OH I’m in is warmer than most of the state, and more like northern Kentucky.

Well worth a look.

This map is what I was asking about last week. Thanks so much.

I wuz confused for a bit, thinking "It's Friday already?"

Thanks for the maps.

I’ve already seen a Lefty AGW-believer spouting off about this map, yelling SEE, SEE, THERE REALLY IS AGW, THEY HAD TO RE-DO THE MAP!

Idiots.

[chickpundit]

Thanks, I always thought I was 6a, but now looks like 6b ... nice to know!

[familyop]

It’s incorrect on my place (”4b”) due to winter temps being routinely reported higher than true for tourism revenues. This is a 3b (personal weather station). Most vegetables here also need to be covered all summer (water frozen some mornings). But it’s still helpful! Thanks.

I had to go to the state map and then zoom in, and I have remarkable eyesight. I’m calling it 9c.

[tillacum]

Thank you JDB, I was always confused if we were in the tip top of 8b or lower tip of 8a. We are fully in 8B. The seed soil is getting dampened and tomorrow they will receive tomatoe seeds and peas.

Well, that clinches it! I’m moving to Puerto Rico - for many reasons, LOL! :)

[fanfan]

Yes, thanks for all that formatting work JaDB!

I found a new seed source for gardeners in Ontario, Canada.

They have a nice catalog as well. I'll be placing my order soon.

The days are getting longer again. Happy Spring everyone!

Thanks! I was just going to ping you with a link to the site, but you’ve got all the info and more.

My neighbor gave me over a set of onions. He had several varieties and not enough room in his garden. I finished planting them yesterday. If they all make, we won’t be buying any later this year.

There are many other issues beside plant hardiness that a gardener should consider. Sunset Magazines list 19 gardening zones for California alone.
