It's obvious that a lot of learning is behind this compilation of data. Most gardeners have to learn this over much trial and error. This information should give anyone a head start to a successful garden. Each garden is still an independent venture into success so there are only so many things someone else can teach a gardener. This is a great resource.
I appreciate the guide, thank you. It's a lot different having a garden here, near Houston, Tx., than it was in the Dayton, Ohio area. What I dislike most is the difference in the soil. But planting times are very different, so
Thank You again for the Zone 9 Planting Guide. E.L. Meek
