I live in Zone 6. We have usually humid conditions with enough sun and rain. Summers vary from wet to dry each year and can be very unpredictable so the watering can is always nearby. Our latest frosts occur anywhere from April 18 to about May 1. Our earliest frosts come anywhere from Sept.22 to as late as Oct.10. We here in Zone 6 are flexible gardeners to say the least!


Winter is very hard to get through in my area. The temperatures fluctuate instead of staying cold. This can cause some damage to the garden. The ground temperature varies significantly during Indian summer when the daytime temperatures are warm and the nighttime temperatures fall to the low 30’s.
The ground often remains dry during the winter even with the snow pack on top so watering is very important during times of dry weather and non-freezing temperatures of course. Start your plants off right by making sure to give them plenty of water right up until the ground freezes.
After that there isn’t much else to do outside so now is a good time to start planning for next year. And working on your houseplants helps to keep the winter doldrums away!
