Well, I see I'm still in Zone 5. Darn... and I was hoping
to plant some bananas! :)
I did notice that it looks like Boulder got moved to
Zone 6.

> Bring out the fans. The USDA has decided we're all several degrees warmer than we thought we were. Two months ago, I was in zone 6, now I'm in zone
7, having not moved an inch. They've dropped the a and b parts of the
zones. I don't know whether the USDA checked with their boss about this
warmer situation (didn't he deny the globe was warmer?), but they have
also
dropped Canada and Mexico as part of the zone map. See it at www.ahs.org
