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 planting zones, also called hardiness zones, divide the United States, Mexico and Canada into 11 areas. Each of the gardening zones is based on a 10 degree Fahrenheit difference in the average annual minimum temperature. Planting Zones 1 and 2a, the coldest, represent Canada. The United States falls within zones 2 through 10. Hawaii and Mexico are represented by zone 11, the hottest zone.
