Sandy asks…
Is there any way to know what gardening zone folks live in when they as a queston??
so many people have so many questions about gardening but the answers depend upon what gardening zone they live in. In even more detail what part of what state. I would like to reply to a lot of these questions but if they don’t live in a zone that I am famillar with my reply is useless. Any way to find out???
GardenersCardiff answers:
The only way is if they tell you. You could e-mail them or IM them if they have that option on their answers Q&A page. You could also tell them the answer in a couple different paragraphs for different zones.
If they don’t have the e-mail or IM options, and you don’t want to go into detail for different gardening zones, you could ask in your answer what zone they live in, add the question to your watch list and go back and check to see if they added their zone to the question. 
Mandy asks…
I live in Gardening Zone 8 and i want to move some banana plants (1 foot tall) into my yard ?
Should I wait to buy and move them until spring or should i go ahead and do it now?? I am very anxious to plant some .
– I live in Dallas. Would they die over the winter?
Any other banana growing/soil/sunlight/watering tips????
THANKS
GardenersCardiff answers:
One thing to consider when planting banana plants: Dig a comfortable square, 2-3 ft X 2-3 ft., min. 1 ft deep, to be able to work in. Plant the plants, one plant per hole in the hole.
Banana plants grow lots of surface roots and the following generations will be shallower and shallower. That is what the hole is for: You fill in a layer of dirt every year or according to new shoots, so there is enough soil around the roots. Otherwise the plants will be falling all over the place.
James asks…
What is my gardening zone in Weber (Ogden) UT?
I have been searching for the correct zone (zip 84405) and I seem to get differnt answers every time.
GardenersCardiff answers:
I think you are in zone 6. But in any case, you may have variations based on microclimates on your property – local topography, windbreaks, ponds, a hill, etc.

How stringent R the gardening ZONES? I HAVE to have this plant but i’m in zone 9b. Who thinks i should just
give it a shot? I wonder why it doesn’t like my zone.http://www.waysidegardens.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10151&langId=-1&mainPage=LGprodview&ItemId=49783&PrevMainPage=textsearchresults&scChannel=Text%20Search&SearchText=blue&OfferCode=TH3
GardenersCardiff answers:
Give it a shot, but try to plant it on the northern side of your house so it’s not so warm. The real difference in the zones is temperature.
Thomas asks…
How do I find out what gardening “Zone” I am in?
I have been looking for annual humming bird and butterfly vines that would grow well in my area. I don’t want anything invasive.
The web sites I am looking at keep refering to certain zones…like annual for zones 3-8 and perineal for 9-10. How do I find out which one I live in??
This is serious; please don’t make fun of my rookie gardening issues.
Thank you all!! I live in the Texas Gulf Coast area and I am in zone 9! Cool, now I know! Thanks for your help! Now I just have to deal with what grows in our gumbo soil. LOL
