What is your hardiness zone?

Knowing what your hardiness zone for your area is of most importance before beginning any planting project. There are several ways to search and find your hardiness zone. One and the most popular is using your browser. Search the internet, go on Google, Yahoo, or Bing or any of the search engines available to you. You can also use the map I have provided for you above to find your hardiness zone, or go to the link provided, USDA hardiness zone finder. Keep in mind that in recent years the USDA, has created sub categories to each zone. Now each zone is sub-divided such as 7a and 7b. An example of this is NYC is 7a while parts of NJ are 7b. This makes for easier of vegetation being planted.
