HI @coldsteem, Have u ever used this zone map before http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/

It's so helpful :)

NC covers 5b to 8b but by honing in on your specific area, you'll see which one you're in.

It looks like I am 7. I will find a potato planting guide. I have heard different things from different people in my area. Hard to know when you get conflicting info. Thanks
