Gardening in Zone 2

What is a Hardiness Zone Map: In the 1960's the USDA developed a hardiness zone map. This map has been updated several times through the years. There are ten zones each separated by 10 degrees. Each zone is further broken down into subzones A and B separated by 5 degrees. The basis for the zones is the cold tolerance of plants and the average annual minimum temperature in a given area. The coldest area, being Zone 1 at -50 degrees and the warmest, Zone 11 at above 40 degrees. Commercial growers of plants and seeds use this map to label their stock for the consumer. Make sure the plants are actually suited for your climate though, many chain stores sell plants nationwide. http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html

Unfortunately the hardiness zone map does not take into consideration snow levels, summer temperatures, wind and humidity. Snow can insulate plants and the lack of snow and water can cause plants to freeze. The boundary lines on a zone map are not absolute, hills and valleys and other natural conditions can raise or lower the temperatures in each zone. Plants that grow well in Zone 2 on the east coast does not mean they will grow in Zone 2 on the west coast. Water conditions, different frost times and other weather conditions can spell disaster for plants brought in from distant places. http://www.hgtv.com/landscaping/hardiness-zones-qa/index.html<ref>

How to Rock Climb

  • Rock climbing is a dangerous sport, even when you have knowledge of the required skills, technique and equipment. Spend time learning about the different types of rock climbing and try your hand at an indoor wall a few times to see how you like it. If you do enjoy it, sign up for an instructional course and begin learning about the necessary equipment used by those who climb regularly. You will need to work on your leg, hand and arm strength, as well as core strength to maintain balance in tricky situations.
