    You are in the red group. Just a heads up–I only know this because I live in Utah and know the geography. For those of you who live elsewhere, I can’t confirm it for you. :)

    I live in st. george utah …. what is my color???

    I am a greenie…

    thank you !!!1

    If you’re in California, your frost date might fall BEFORE the color groups. I am working on coming up with a system for folks like you. It may not roll out until fall, or at the latest next spring.

  4. Grace says:

    Can you tell me what color I am? We live in Glendale, CA. I’m still confused.

  5. Emily says:

    Judy–I wish I could tell you! But frost dates are not organized by zip code. You really need to go to the color page and follow the instructions. I just added a screencast to help walk you through the process.

    Depending on where you live, your frost dates may not be listed in my chart. I am working on a solution for those who have earlier frost dates.

    Live in Sunnyvale, CA – I think red is right for us – any way to verify?

  7. Emily says:

    Mitzi–I can answer this because my family lives down there! You are outside of my color planting schedule–by about a month. The trick is, Las Vegas gets so hot in the summer, but you can grow almost all winter long. My book is really for a spring-summer-fall planting schedule.

    The dates I offer might work for you and others who live in warmer climates, but really have a spring-summer and a fall-winter season. I am very aware of your needs, and it’s on my list of things to research and write about. But honestly, I can’t speak from experience, only from my research. I encourage you to contact your local extension service (www.extension.org) for a recommended planting schedule.

    Hi. Just found your website. I want to sign up for your newsletter but I am confused as to what color Las Vegas Nevada would be. We are getting warm weather now. I have transplanted a lot of things outside. Please let me know what color you would suggest. Mitzi

    I live in Fairfield , CA. that is the Northren part. I live in Northren CA inland area with some ocean influence, summer days are hot between 90 to 103F & winter days between 40 to 50 F.

    After reading where you are all from I’m not sure I picked the right color. Does any of that sound like wear any of you live?

  10. Emily says:

    Cheron–That’s right!

  11. Cheron says:

    I am not sure. I am in the Porltand area and think I am in the red group. Does that sound right?

  12. Emily says:

    Courtney–I’m working on some hotter climate schedules for those who live in Florida, Arizona, Nevada. Keep your eyes peeled!

  13. Courtney says:

    My date was not in any of the colors but I picked red because it was the closest. We live about 15 miles east (inland) of Fort Myers, Florida.

  14. Cynthia says:

    Hopefully I have picked the correct color. Thanks. I am in Austin Texas, Zone B. Looks like last frost is March 31st.
