Hello fellow gardeners. I live in zone 3 in Eastern Montana. We will be moving this summer to Missouri and change to zone 6.
I am overwhelmed each time I pick up a gardening catalog and realize all the plants I have only dreamed about and will now be able to grow! Any stories or experiences that Missouri, zone 6 gardeners would like to share would be great. Back to looking at catalogs and drooling!! |

That's exciting! Our L2G expert, Bosh Bruening, is a Missourian born and bred. And frequent contributor Melinda Hemmelgarn lives there too. So check out their articles (and Bosh's Garden Shed forum) and feel free to share your new experiences in Zone 6!

Dear sj,
With the USDA Hardiness zones, the smaller the number indicates the colder the zone (based on average lowest temperatures in winter). Zone 1 is around the Arctic Circle and Zone 12 is tropical, for example. For a more detailed discussion, I would highly recommend that you read "Between a Rock and a Hardiness Place" by Learn2Grow's Lane Greer: Problem Solvers/Growing Conditions & Climate. http://www.learn2grow.com/problemsolvers/climateconditions/seasonalissues/rockandhardiness.aspx Mark Miller |
