Using historical climate data from NOAA, Plantmaps has created a new interactive map displaying average annual last frost dates for Georgia as well as major cities in Georgia which will assist gardeners and growers with frost protection:

The interactive last frost date map can assist gardeners and growers trying to decide when to plant seeds, when to plant a garden and what type of plant frost protection to use.

Plantmaps has created a new interactive Georgia Drought Conditions Map based on the Palmer Drought Index produced NOAA.  A drought index is produced for each climate division in Georgia.   Each climate division is assigned a drought level based on it’s current drought index value.  If the region is suffering from drought conditions, the interactive drought conditions map reports the amount of rain needed to alleviate the drought.   Other data that make up the Palmer drought index that are incorporated into the interactive maps are:  Average Temperature, Average Precipitation, Upper and Lower Soil Moisture and a crop moisture index.

In addition to the interactive drought conditions map, plantmaps.com also has several other valuable tool for Georgia gardeners, farmers and environmentalists such as the interactive North Carolina USDA hardiness zone map, the interactive Heat Zones map and the interactive Ecoregions map.

plantmaps.com has added an interactive USDA zone map for the State of Georgia.  The state of Georgia ranges from Mountains in the North to coastal plain at the Southern coast, giving Georgia several hardiness zones ranging from 6b to 8b.
