Anyone know where I might be able to find (online, hopefully)
something like a USDA zone map of the UK? I'd like to have a
comparison of climates, in case I do some seed trading and such, so
that I can be knowledgeable about what might do well in various
locales. Everything I have is based on USDA zone maps, showing
hardiness from zone 1 (very cold) to zone 11. (subtropical) Here in
Southwest Ohio, we are right on the verge of being 5b or 6a, which
means that in a typical winter, we get down to 10 below zero
Fahrenheit. Some years we only get down to zero, but every 5 to 10
years, we might get down to 15 below.

The UK isn't like America, we only have one climate, we are about the size
of California, although Scotland in the North is usually cooler than Devon
and Cornwall in the South, there is usually only a few degrees seperating
them (Celcius).
