Certified ExpertA.Yes, we are a U.S. based website. Late winter varies across the U.S., for example, in the Pacific Northwest "late winter" is usually January-February, but across the country icy winter conditions and warming times are extremely variable. Late winter in Florida is completely different from late winter in Washington or Minnesota. We at Gardening Know How reside in different parts of the country, but I believe we would agree that late winter consists of the 2-3 months right up until March, when everything first begins to bud. During that time, we still get frost overnight. The last few years have been unpredictable and record temperatures have occurred in many parts of the country. We tend to rely on the Hardiness Zones assigned by the USDA Department of Agriculture.

Certified ExpertA.Your hardiness zone is 6a, with minimum temperatures of -23 to -21 C (-10 to -5 F). Japanese maples are typically hardy to zone 5 or 6 depending on the variety, so you should be able to grow one. I would still take some precautions in winter, such as mulching heavily.

Certified ExpertA.Matching specific deer resistant plantings with your exact location would probably be best done by your local university extension service. Here is a link to their website: https://www.uaf.edu/ces/districts/matsu/
Here's our article that lists many deer resistant plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/deer/deer-resistant-plants.htm,
but your extension service agent can help you with determining which of these will grow best in your area. Or, you can search each one on our website.
I hope this is helpful. And yes, please feel free to refer folks to https://www.gardeningknowhow.com, where they can find gardening information and ask questions.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

March 29, 2021Q.How Soon Can I Safely Plant (and Protect) Seed Sown Outdoors In Zone 5 A/b?
Fairly experienced gardener recently transplanted from California to mountaintops of West Virginia. Very few people seem to vege garden year-round here, yet I have lettuce, peas, green onions beets, herbs I overwintered from last Sept. planting. They have survived and supplemented my green diet through the winter under large, clear plastic storage bins, even through snow and freezing conditions. Have mostly harvested them as microgreens (lettuce, peas, beets). Now want to get an early start on a spring/summer garden. In this part of the country is it best to wait until the ground warms up to plant seed, or to try seeds under the plastic bins? We are starting some seeds under a grow light, but I'm not a fan of that method as it usually seems to produce such weak stems/stalks. Plus, only so much room under the one grow light we have. Any advice for starting a garden in this region would be most appreciated.
