Hi, thanks so much for your reply. Some sites will put me in 7a but most have me in 7b. I have an attached garage that isn't heated but it doesn't get colder than 55 in there because of it being protected by the heated house. Is it more important that I plant based on the sun exposure, as opposed to the "sheltered" from winds? I have an area by some tall evergreens that give a very dappled light but a short window of direct afternoon sun in summer, maybe an hour or so. Right now, we've had one night of killing frost this week but are heading into a milder period. In the 60s. Nj weather is like a rollercoaster in fall and spring.
