dyzzypyxxy said:Don't forget the hardiness zones are only averages of the minimum winter temperatures in a given area. They don't take into account differences in humidity, sun intensity, soil type, rainfall and other factors that make, for example a zone 8 garden in the Pacific Northwest very different from a zone 8 garden in Arizona or Florida. They are only the same zone designation because their winter lows are similar.


For reasons like this I have never tried to equate my climate here in Hobart with any US zone. But welcome and good luck finding a zone match!
