Question from Kim:
What is the zone for planting/growing vegetables, flowers, trees in the high desert of so. Calif. I live in the Antelope Valley, north of Los Angeles. My zip code is 93551. Where can i look this up on the web?

Answer from Pat:
You live in Sunset Zone 11. You will find Lancaster on Page 57 in “Sunset Western Garden Book” which as a gardener you probably own or certainly can access at your local library. The characteristics of Zone 11 are described on page 59.

Here is a link to Sunset Climate Zones:

Here is a link to a gardener’s comment that has a list of plants you can grow in zone 11.
