As I said, I can't distinguish within 3 zones where I am on that map.
I'd need a pixel-level editor, and I don't expect the data that
produced the map is that exact to that resolution, anyway.

I meant click on your state, or any state, for that matter. All the zones
are listed at the bottom with relative temps.

I assume you meant Def F. We get to single digits for at
least a few days in january. Does that mean I'm in zone 6b ?

Upper single digits or lower single digits? 6b or 7a. At least it will give
you a good idea of what you can plant.



High. I guess that means I'm in 7a.

Sorry to sound like a curmudgeon.

The problem with the map is that 3 near-beige colors are mixed up
within a handfull of pixels where I live. There is no way to see which
one is exactly me. On top of that I'm on the highest point for
hundreds of miles. It's only 400 ft ASL but the winter rain freezes
here before the it does a mile from the house; Staten Island, NY,
Highest point on the eastern seaboard. Atlantic ocean warming effect,
or fast track storms from canada. I don't get to choose. I think the
nearest garden supply is in a different zone.

I'm still interested in knowing about soil temperatures.
