Hi Bushytail, welcome to NGA!
I don't think my experience on the coastal PNW would be helpful - we had a "hot" day recently that went OVER 75 degrees!
There are members who've added their approximate locations to their profile, in or around Arkansas. You can search to find them:
http://garden.org/users/member...
(If you want to be that visible, click on the "head and shoulders" icon in the upper left corner, and fill out :
- "Change your public profile"
- "Your location" (as approximate as you wish, like "Central AR" or "Near Russellville")
That appears in the corner of every post and helps people answer questions, since the same question might have a different answer for AR, AK and AL. each time you update your "public profile" info, it changes in every post you've made, even old ones!
I used to think that the hardiness Zone was useful, but then I heard that someone in Texas Zone 8 had his first crop of tomatoes dying from heat before my coastal WA Zone 8 was warm enough at night to put out my only crop of cherry tomatoes!
Or the regional forum for Arkansas is the "SouthEast Gardening" forum.

They even have a "Hello new members" thread:
The thread "Welcome New Southeast Forum Members! Please introduce yourself :)" in
Southeast Gardening forum
If you spend much time in the "Vegetables and Fruit" forum, I'll see you around the barn!

BTW, if you click on "Watch this forum" on a forum's home page, it becomes easier to navigate to (it appears on your own NGA home page)
