What is your planting Zone?

Whether you are growing peppers indoors or outdoors, knowing your planting zone is an important first step. 

What is a Planting Zone/ Hardiness Zone/Gardening Zone?
Your 'zone" is based on a map developed by the USDA that separates the United States into regions based on the average low winter temperatures.. There are 10 primary zones across the US, each representing a 10-degree increment. 

Why Does it Matter?
While many peppers are quite adaptable, most will not tolerate specific degrees of cold. Therefore knowing your zone helps you select peppers that grow best in your zone and tells you when to grow them.
