The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Laguna Beach you can estimate when it's possible to plant cantaloupes by using the USDA zone info.
