Well, Patricia, our weather is probably about as different as two zone
8s could be - yes, it does freeze hard here. One winter night several
years back, it was colder here than anywhere else in the lower 48 states
(25 degrees below zero). Most winters it doesn't get below zero, and
for the last few hasn't gotten below 10. We are mid-continent, so have
none of the ameliorating conditions you have on your island - wild
swings in temperature and rainfall year round - highs from 70s to 100s
in summer and teens to 80s in mid winter, annual rainfall from 30 to
nearly 70 inches with individual rainfall events as much as 6 inches,
frequently 3 inches or more in a few days between weeks with no rain.
And I'm sure the seeds I'm working with, from TBs that thrive here, will
have different tolerance peculiarities from yours, but it will still be
interesting to compare results.
