Mike,  Thanks for the article on the influence of Lake Michigan on s.w. Michigan weather.  It is pretty much a given that Lake Michigan keeps us (those living on the lake) warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.  I know we are a separate growing zone because it doesn't get as cold as it does inland from here.I have really appreciated all the posts I have gotten because of my Alstroemeria question.Steve

Steve,

I wonder how the lake influences
your climate that is not picked up by the traditional banding of climate
zones?

.

Maybe you enjoy enough warmth that you could be successful if you are near
enough to Lake Michigan? I’d imagine there has to be some warmth depending,
on wind and locality to the lake.

Just a thought, have a great weekend,

Mike
San Diego

Alstroemerias have a hardiness threshold very close to 0F [-18 C]  Ligtu
hybrids might push this a bit. If you expose them to colder temperatures
without protection, you risk losing them.
