Weather/Climate
Weather and climate conditions have a lot to do with what you can or cannot grow.
Although hardiness zones are indicators that define how hardy a plant must be if it is to be successful,
they are only a guide. Many gardeners have found that they have "micro-climates" (or can create them)
that allow them to grow plants that are not rated for their particular zone.
Of course, good winter cover is essential in those cases.
So what about Daylight Savings Time (DST)? Will you get more
tomatoes because of that extra hour of daylight? OK, it's a trick question... ;-)
