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 > > On Friday, April 29, 2022, 05:44:57 PM EDT, Mike via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > > Steve, > > I wonder how the lake influences > your climate that is not picked up by the traditional banding of climate > zones? > > https://theweatherprediction.com/weatherpapers/… > . > > > Maybe you enjoy enough warmth that you could be successful if you are near > enough to Lake Michigan?
