How it’s figured

We match your USDA hardiness zone (2023 map, via PRISM — one representative zone per ZIP) against each plant’s hardy range, then filter by the sun, space, and experience you picked. Frost dates come from the nearest of 85 reporting stations, with locations from the US Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer. Plant data (days to maturity, spacing, sowing windows) are typical ranges compiled from published Extension and almanac references — your seed packet and your local Extension office know your varieties and your microclimate best.
