Rich,

As you know, where you're at it's COLD. That's really all you need to remember, don't fuss over the difference between USDA and Sunset zones. You'll be shoveling the sidewalks soon, if not already, that's all you need to know.

Hi gang,
I've been trying to figure out what requirements I will need to follow when I build my greenhouse/coldhouse in the spring. I thought the best climate guide would be the new USDA climate zone system, but many of you use the Sunset system...
SNIP
So what do we use? Should we learn/remember both systems? Is there a formula used by Sunset that we can use to decide on our own what zone we should be in? Am I stressing over nothing?
