For folks who like gardening or like planting edibles as a source of nutrition, you might be interested in knowing that USDA unveiled their new Plant Hardiness Zone Map. The map for the first time can help gardeners identify their current planting zone by zip code. This makes choosing edibles and other plants easier, especially if you know what zone you live.
It’s currently available online at www.planthardiness.ars.usda.gov.
About Sharon M., MS RD
As a registered dietitian and a master gardener, I know the healing power of food. Nothing has given me more satisfaction than growing my own food.
I have experience working in the public health field, including school districts. I have worked with pregnant moms, children, diabetics, and bariatric patients.
I emphasis a plant-based, whole food diet. Yet, I appreciate the movement of eating sustainably, while hoping folks appreciate the bean as a source of protein.
