New Plant Hardiness Zone from USDA

There's a new plant hardiness zone map, released last month and updated from 2012. In 2023, I have moved from zone 4a to 4b. Several years ago, my garden as a new homeowner had a few brutal winters, and I lost zone 4 plants, so I made a point to invest in plants for zone 3. However, recently I've been experimenting with zone 5 plants--lavender and a daisy variety--with success. I guess I don't need the map to tell me what I already know. Climate change is real. 

P. S. Find your zone here https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/
