What this means for your garden
Zone 7b gives you a frost-free growing season from roughly Apr 1 to Nov 7.
Cool-season crops like lettuce, peas, and brassicas do best in early spring or late summer — they bolt in summer heat. Warm-season crops (tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans) want to go in after your last frost.
Perennials rated to Zone 7b or colder will overwinter just fine.
