Re: Happy > zone map

Bonnie, they planned all along to adjust the USDA zones. Just because the draft AHS came up with didn't pan out, doesn't mean they abandoned the project. It was simply back to the drawing board. Not enough data was used in that AHS draft and I recall reading the next draft will include a lot more - sorta like all the phone calls the govt is collecting. They have to go way back to get an accurate pattern; 10-15 years isn't sufficient. Also, the AHS draft dumped the a nd b subdivisions and apparently people weren't happy about that at all.

Although, it wasn't very comfortable, I'm sure, Jim BRRRR...

The grandboy had two flag football games yesterday. It was in the 40's with
a chili misting rain with wind. Yup. It took a winter jacket and a few
trips to the car to get warmed back up. The local nurseries who usually do
a killing on and just before Mother's Day. I stopped in and chatted with
someone at my favorite spot and they said the cold and rain really impacted
their sales. I think I shall have to expect sales soon. That is good for
me, but not so good for the nurseries.

BTW, I heard on TV Saturday that they are trying to change the zone ratings
again and are including plant names to identify different areas? Anyone
know any details?

Have to admit, the image in my mind of folks at a plant sale wearing
earmuffs is... well... kinda amusing.

    Our garden club had an outdoor plant sale Sat morn.   Everyone
wore
winter coats, ear muffs & gloves.   Of course it had affect on the
sales.   The
left over plants are donated to the Great Perennial Divide which is an
event to
gather plants for the inner city.   We earned > $1200 which is spent
on
horticulture scholarships.
    Glad   you had a great trip and hopefully Sugar will makeup real
soon.
