what is my planting zone

To determine your planting zone, you can use the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. This map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones and further divided into 5-degree F half-zones. To find your zone, you can enter your 5-digit zip code on the USDA website. The map will show you which zone you are in, and you can then use this information to determine which plants are most likely to thrive in your area. It is important to choose plants that are appropriate for your zone, as planting vegetables, flowers, and other plants that are not suited to your climate can result in failure in your garden.
