Zones

I had always wondered how this zone thingy worked but had been too embarassed to ask.
now I know so ''Thanks to everyone.''

 

Aww, glad to be of service, Init :D

The peeps on here are sooooo knowledgeable. I've learned loads :gnthb:

I only post questiions on here usually, I dont know nearly enough to give answers :lollol:

 

Over here in northern Ontario where i live, i am in 5b :thumb:

 

I have read and tried to digest all this zone info and I want to thank you all for the education.:gnthb:
Explains some things to me but I shall still just go ahead and do my own stuff in my own little micro garden:thmb:

It's used as a guide line you cann't write the figures in stone,of course everyones space is unique extreme weather will crop up now and again take for instance I grow something that is hardy in zone 8b then it's ok down to -7c if I was Penny zone 5b -23c I wouldn't dream of trying to grow that plant.The rhs clasification is a little coarse and as Pete says soil condition can make a big difference.
