    Not sure if this was posted before or if it is in the right spot. But I just read that after 22 years the USDA has shifted the hardiness zones this past January. I went from 5b to 6a. I thought this might be an interesting tidbit for those who did't know.

    Canadian Zones haven't changed. I wonder when they will update OUR map?

    Yes, newer than the 2000 map. Things have definitely changed in the past 12 years!
