hardiness zones question - June 20th, 2005 at 09:51 AM
Okay, here it comes LOL
I'm thinking today, while planting my seeds, why it is that I couldn't plant a seed that grows in a warmer zone. I mean, if I'm going to harvest the seeds at the end of the season, of course, otherwise I understand why they won't 'come back'. Hardiness zones, as I understand it, mark the coldest temp something won't survive overwintering...so as long as it's past the last frost date, why can't I? Or can I and just misunderstood hardiness zones altogether?
Thanks!
