Backyard Cuisine! Butter Crunch Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Swiss Chard, and Mustard Greens harvested from planters on my porch! These are the tomatoes I harvested before the freeze last month. I put them in a brown paper bag with an apple, and they turned red!

***Watch this video before giving up on your winter garden...
AFTER frigid temperatures destroyed about 80 % of my vegetable garden, the weather had the nerve to reach a balmy 66° today, BUT all is not lost!!! Watch my partial video (my phone battery died 😭), but hopefully, I recorded enough for you to realize your winter garden may have some hope! ❤️

USDA Hardiness Zone Map
The U.S. Department of Agriculture designed a map of the United States that shows color-coded plant hardiness zones to guide where plants may survive across the country. It is divided into 10° F increments.
Each zone is based on an average annual extreme minimum temperature observed over a 30-year period, not the lowest temperature an area has ever reached. The zones are labeled from 1 to 13, with zone 1 being the coldest.
The Plant Hardiness Zone Map (PHZM) is an excellent guide for gardeners to discover which plants are likely to survive in their area. Plant breeders and professional growers use hardiness zones to communicate to gardeners where the plants they have bred and developed can be grown successfully.
Two new zones were added to the USDA PHZM in 2012. Zones 12 and 13 cover Hawaii and Puerto Rico, with average annual extreme temperatures above 50°F and 60°F, respectively. This new information can be quite helpful for gardeners around the country who grow tropical plants indoors.
The Plant Hardiness Zone Map is a great place to start when choosing plants for your garden or landscape. However, keep in mind that other factors can also contribute to their survival.
There are times when plants can often survive outside their listed hardiness zones.
Wind, rainfall, snowfall, humidity, light exposure, and soil type all play a role in a plant’s success. Both new and experienced gardeners may find it a fun challenge to grow and care for plants outside their hardiness zones. Many gardeners already do so by growing tender or tropical plants that require extra care to survive a winter season in areas with low temperatures and snow.
