Growing areas?
Where do I find out what my growing season is? I know I was zone 7 where I used to live, but I can't figure out where to find out what I am now...

Log on to your county extension office. If you can't find the website you can call them and they can tell you everything you need to know for your area. You can get conflicting information from other sites!

While your question has been answered already I will go ahead and mention that the Gardening forum has a sticky thread with zone map links in it.

Heres the USDA Zone map and you can click on each state to narrow it down even further.
