Here is one link:
http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html
Actually I read somewhere recently that the USDA was in the process of redrawing the hardiness zones and I believe it is scheduled to be released sometime later this year. Of course that is subject to my memory, or lack there of.
Hope this helps.

For the annual veggie garden, it means very little.
. . . for perennial fruits - maybe quite a lot.
To give you an idea of what I'm talking about: Bellingham Washington (just south of Vancouver BC on Puget Sound) is probably a zone 7, also.
Give that some thought, DesertGirl . . .

I was just thinking that after doing a little research...seems a little crazy, the vastly different climates in the same "zone"...I guess I'll just keep learning.
Primarily it is used as a gauge for first/last frosts, right?:/

Should I have said Bellingham is on the Strait of Georgia north of the Puget Sound?smom1976 said:that is where I am from
Here's another question: If you were there now, SMom, would the word "desert" occur to you as a description of your surroundings?
