Mary Stella, as I recall when I first opened Goodies - Garden Calendar and inputted my zip code, I believe it used to say somewhere that it was using data for Mount Vernon (which is I assume the closest weather station). Now when I do that, it just says Stanwood (the city of my zip code). BUT, the little map that also pops up does not show any red pin for Stanwood, so I assume it is using info from the closest pin (Mount Vernon), which is off for me. I experimented by entering a couple of the other pinned zip codes and then picked the one that most closely represented my micro-climate and also made sense to me (based on my own experience, and in particular looking at when the calendar says to plant warm weather in-ground crops). Once I identified which one that was, I just use that zip code as my search.
@Dave, is this how it works basically? If so, it may be helpful for the initial search to let folks know which precise weather station it is reading, which I thought it used to (but may be mis-remembering). Or, perhaps you could somehow let each member 'lock in' the pin that best fits their own personal micro-climate (in my case someone living further inland but still having a Stanwood 98292 zip code may well be able to use the Mount Vernon 98273 info). As an aside, you may also want to change out the ATP logo at the upper right to NGA, just a bit of housecleaning.
Kind of rambling, but back to Mary Stella, I entered 99501 for Anchorage into the calendar and the pin map shows 3 close locations in close proximity to Anchorage. You may want to open each of those to see which one best fits for your location, then use that zip for your search. Looks like two are coastal, and one is further inland. You can just click on the red pins to change the info.
