    New to gardening? - Knowing your planting zone is very important for selecting the right plants that will have the best chance of success in your garden. If you are not sure what planting zone you are in (I garden here in central Ohio and am 6a, BTW) you can find your zone on the interactive USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. You just pop in your zip code to find out what zone you garden in!
