I love this place. Today I was able to find tomato seeds that will hold up to New Mexico heat and sun. Thank you all for your help over the years

Here are all the Zones you need to be aware : 7 USDA Plant Hardiness Map For New Mexico | Gardening Know How New Mexico falls within USDA plant hardiness zones 4 through 9, with the majority of the state experiencing a semi-arid climate characterized by hot summers and cold winters. Zones vary by elevation and region, generally ranging from Zone 4/5 in the northern mountains to Zone 8/9 in the southern desert basins. Northern NM (Mountains/High Elevation): Zones 4a–5b, with colder winter temperatures, sometimes reaching -25°F. Central NM (Albuquerque/Santa Fe): Primarily Zones 6a–7b. Southern NM (Las Cruces/Borderlands): Zones 7b–9a, featuring milder winters and long, hot growing seasons. Key Factors: High elevation, intense sun, low humidity, and significant day-to-night temperature changes (often 30°+ difference) are typical. Due to these variations, gardeners should consult the specific USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map for their local area, often necessitating cold-hardy plants in the north and drought-tolerant, heat-loving species in the south. and vary kind

I really love this place. I was treated with so much respect and the lady who I wish I got her name was so amazing. My mother has a bad hip and I came from Santa Fe to get fruit trees for her. The lady helped me tie them to my truck and was right there to help me right to the end. I can't give more praises than, please give back and pay forward. Such wonderful people, thank you for all your help.
