Find your USDA Hardiness Zone by ZIP code

[Rene Schweitzer]

I found this earlier this afternoon and thought I would share. If you're in the US and want to know your Hardiness Zone, type in your ZIP code here: http://www.garden.org/zipzone/

 That's neat--thank you. I read somewhere that they had prepared a "micro climate" zone map that differentiated between two adjacent zip codes--for example, both downtown DC and suburban Fairfax VA are in the same zone, but I see stuff growing in DC that won't grow out in Fairfax.

Cool that will help a lot of us gardeners (not/ no clue!) Thanks Rene Sean

Lownote, The USDA was supposed to have updated their map a few years ago, but hasn't released it (yet?) If I hear of anything more updated, I'll let everyone know.
