Are You a Frederick Maryland Gardner?
Posted by Chris & Karen Highland under For Buyers, For Sellers, Frederick Md, Just For Fun
If you’re a Frederick Md homeowner who loves to garden, this handy plant hardiness zone map will keep you in the know about which plants to love and which plants to avoid:
Frederick Md is in zone 7a, while Northern Frederick County is in zone 6b. And if this unpredictable spring weather hasn’t convinced you, local conventional wisdom (my mother-in-law) says don’t plant until after Mother’s Day.
