Harvested peppers and tomatoes.

I love this time of year when I get to spend more time outside, tending to my flower beds, caring for my lawn and planting vegetables in my freshly dug soil. It gives me a great sense of achievement to watch new life grow and to then enjoy the fruits of my labor.

However, in the U.S., before considering which vegetables to sow or plant, you need to know if your chosen specimen will survive in your USDA plant hardiness zone.
