This has me in zone 5 when really it’s supposed to be 4. But now that I think about it, these zones are probably more like… zestimates, going forward. USDA should add three question marks and a shrugging emoji after the number the next time they update these. Or maybe a frowning face for like the southwest for instance.

I never would have guessed Arizona has the most grow zones and CO coming in second. Texas tying second kinda makes sense given its size.

It’s the Rockies. Most of Arizona is mountains, but people think it’s just a giant desert because that’s where most of the people in the state live.

You get used to it. The humidity is actually kinda nice sometimes too.

Of course, this is not taking the existential dread of living in a future wet bulb zone into account.

It’s based on winter lows, not summer highs. This just means both those places have mild winters.

Yeah the main difference between the two is that Seattle has a beautiful mild summer and the Florida panhandle makes you want to kill yourself

Pacific Ocean proximity will do that.

Combination of oceans absorbing all the heat from the sun during the day and breezes distributing it inland.

With zones caring more about cold than heat, both locations hit similarly low temperatures even though Florida probably has much higher temps
