The links you pointed me to are extremely useful. I have a question. Can you point me to the definitions of the various zones. I would be interested in finding out what zone we live in (if this has been defined for switzerland of course)? I am taking the liberty of linking back to you so that I can pop in frequently. Best wishes, Wyn. Thanks for your comment in my new “our swiss garden” blog. The links you pointed me to are extremely useful.

Canadian hardiness zones are slightly different and can be found here: <a href="http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/climate/hardiness/ph2000webmap.html">http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/climate/hardiness/ph2000webmap.html</a> Much to my surprise, the European map has Switzerland rated warmer than many parts of the U.S.--including where I live. How cold do the Alps get?
