    Just curious, my area went from zone 4b to zone 5a with the recent changes in the US zoning charts. Anyone else get bumped up into a warmer zone? I could have told them that, having overwintered zone 5 plants for years!

    I went from 5b to 6a. I even had tropicals make it through this past winter. Now I have to dig them out, cause they ain't where I want 'em.

    I also went from 5b to 6a. Doesnt seem to be that much different to me, although I tend to buy plants that are well within their ability to survive this area :)

    Yep, me too. I keep thinking that I won't have to move south the south is moving north. I am now in zone 6, I do believe.

    I had one dahlia that lived over- surprise! Always treated them as annuals here in 6b- now 7a. Just glad I got to move without having to pack it all up, lol.

    We went from zone 5b to 6a in MA. Last winter was so mild that our rosemary plant is still alive!
