Do you have a planting guide for Alaska? Is the maritime Canada the closest one?
Village Brat says
I am with you on the request 🙂
Mavis says
I will try and work on it next. 🙂

amanda says
What zone does central California fall in? I don’t see a “west” zone…
Mavis says
You’d use the Southwest Region guide.
Krista says
What about Hawaii? 🙂 I know we have awesome warm weather year round but I’m so clueless about
How to garden here.
Mavis says
That’s one I’ll have to work on too!

I live in the central NY area & am unsure as to exactly what region I’d look in for starting my garden. I only have a very limited space & fixed income so I cannot buy alot of things. I just want to plant, nurture, & grow my veggies successfully. I am not sure which veggies to plant where in this space.
Mavis says
You’d be in the Mid-Atlantic Planting Region: http://www.onehundreddollarsamonth.com/mid-atlantic-region-planting-guide/. You can check out THIS guide for specific plants just for New York. Hope that helps!

Hi Mavis, had to laugh when I saw your gardening info today. Today I’m organizing my seeds and garden plans. Am excited as well, then I opened the door to let the dogs out and was greeted by snow yet again. I was at our local Seedy Saturday and came across sunchoke tubers. I have a 30 ft section of fencing that I would like to provide some shade for. As they are supposed to grow to 10 ft or so I thought why not and bought a bunch. I’ve never eaten them but we do have some farm animals that would like them if we get overrun. Have you ever grown them or have any info? Thanks, have a great day.
Patti Edson says
They are very invasive and hard to get rid of once they get started, so take that into consideration. You may still be able to remove them if they are in a place where having them go hog wild would be bad. Once they have formed the tubers, they are entrenched.

I am in Zone 7a in Texas. I have no idea which regional zone above that I belong to….any info?
Mavis Butterfield says
The Southwest. 🙂
Charlene says
Sorry to be so dumb, but new to the Treasure Valley in Idaho – as are many folks. Talk about a population explosion. Many of us newbies are trying to figure out gardening in this new environment. I’m specifically zone 7a. This area is considered high dessert. Where do you see us fitting into your charts? Thanks.

how about south Wales uk
TN Buckeye says
It would be super helpful if you listed what states were included in each region.
I’m in Tennessee. Does that make me Mid-Atlantic or Southern Interior?
Mavis Butterfield says
Tennessee is in the Southern Interior Region.
Lutfy , Maggie says
Are your planting guides available according to growing zones?
I live in Warfield, British Columbia, Canada, 2 1/2 hrs. North of Spokane.
Would you be kind enough to let me know which region in the U.S. best approximates mine? Thank you.
