Chris asks…
What is the best or worst thing about your garden zone?
Also if you could change your zone which would that be? And why?
GardenersCardiff answers:
I think the best thing about my gardening zone is the weather. Living in So. Cal., we can grow things pretty much year round and don’t have to move plants inside or cover them in the Winter or worry about the snow and cold killing them. Having said that, though, the soil in my area is basically like clay — very hard and difficult to dig. And like a previous respondent said, weeds run amok. I can pull them one day, and when I go back outside the next day, there are new ones already growing!
If I could change my zone, I think I might choose Zone 1. At certain times of the year, it would be SO cold there that nothing could possibly grow, so I’d just pack up the gardening gloves and enjoy the snow.
Maria asks…
We live in Winnipeg MB, gardening Hardiness Zone 3a. We are planting perennial Mum plants this fall.?
Are wondering how we winterize these e.g. Cut the plants down to ground level etc.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Perennial mums are zoned for zone 3-9. Although it really depends on the cultivar as to its hardiness.
Florist Mums are not as hardy as others.
Mulch them and create a microclimate to shelter them from winter winds. If you can’t plant them on the south side of your house, build a modified version of the shrub shelters used for winter protection.You can build shrub shelters out of natural materials.
Or you can build an A-frame (or “snow frame”) out of store-bought lumber. Don’t prune in fall: existing branches offer the roots protection.
Prune in Spring.

Lisa asks…
What does “zone” mean in gardening and how do I know what zone I’m in?
We just bought a house and I am starting to plant. I’m new to this and I was researching on how to care for Verbena’s and on a site their talking about it depends on what zone your in. What does it mean and how do I find which one I am. I live in southern CA.
Also can anyone recommend a good gardening forum. Thanks.
GardenersCardiff answers:
The US Department of Agriculture established hardiness zones based on how cold the average winter is in each area. This information is used to determine whether a perennial plant can usually survive from season to season, and some plants can not thrive without a cold season.
Southern CA is mostly in zone 10.
David asks…
Anyone from Montana? I have a gardening question for our zone?
What kinds of perennial flowers do the best in the North Central area? Fairfield, Choteau, Simms, Great Falls, that area? I want to plant some beautiful flowers that will return every year without having to re-plant them each time!
GardenersCardiff answers:
Check out your local garden center, they’ll have great advice, and lots of hearty plants to choose from. My garden center also guarantees it’s plants for one year from the purchase date, so if you do have a hard winter you can replace any losses. Here in Colorado, Day Lillies do great, and my Roses come back every year. I’ve had good luck with Shasta Daisies, and Echanesia too. Good Luck
