What's a Growing Zone, Anyway?
Imagine you're a plant. You're all, "Hey, I'm a delicate little flower. I need just the right amount of sunshine, water, and chill time to thrive." Enter the growing zone. It's like a plant's horoscope, telling it where it'll be happiest.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
Baltimore: A Zone of Intrigue
Now, let's talk about Baltimore. This vibrant city is actually split between two growing zones: Zone 7b and Zone 8a. It's like Baltimore has a split personality - sometimes it's a chill, laid-back Zone 7b, and other times it's a party-loving Zone 8a.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
What does this mean for you, the aspiring green thumb? Well, it means you've got a pretty decent range of plants to choose from. You can grow stuff that loves a little chill, and you can also grow stuff that's all about the warm weather. It's like having the best of both worlds, without the annoying ex-boyfriend drama.
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
