Don’t plant those flowers just before a frost!
There’s a great new tool from the U.S. Dep’t of Agriculture. They have developed a GPS-based site where you can go to investigate the recommended planting dates for gardens in your area. The last time the USDA developed a plant-hardiness map was in 1990, and this time around they’ve added some interactive features, as well as a redefined geographic zones with updated temperature data. They’ve also added two new zones for accuracy. You can research the hardiness of particular plants in searchable areas at THIS LINK.
