See you all tomorrow on the regular weekly thread. It may be a bit late because I have to attend a funeral in the morning. Take care ...
The National Gardening Asso. still has the old map up and when I enter my zip code it tells me I am in 7b. 7b is kind of an peninsula dipping down into the middle of the 8a zone. I never understood this. I hope this new map is correct and not based on Political Correctness, e.g. global warming!
That’s great. It’s easy to read, for a change. I’m 5b, right along the western coast of Lake Michigan just north of Milwaukee. Diana is in 5a, due west of me in Dane County (Madison). I was surprised to se the temperature differences between 5a and 5b. I’ll probably still plant to Zone 4 for perennials and shrubs.
