Unfortunately, I have become an expert at what does NOT work. Chances are, you may be an expert too. Until I had an encounter with this mean, hateful fungus I had no idea it was so difficult to get rid of! So hereâs what happened.
If I look at the hardiness Zone map it looks like I'am in zone 7 (light green)on the farmers almanac map. But when I type in my zipcode for farmers almanac it says I am zone 5. Which in my mind is a big difference so How am I to know which zone to go by.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has divided the country into hardiness zones based on average annual minimum temperature. Illinois is located in USDA hardiness zones 4b through 6b; the city of Chicago is located in zone 5b.
