Zone 10 is found in Southern Florida and Hawaii. The weather here is moderately cold and summers are extremely hot. Although tropical plants will be preferred for Zone 10, there are many great options for planting in this area. Plant cool-season crops such as tomatoes or peppers in the late fall and early winter. Plant your vegetables and fruits once the first frost is gone. These areas with cooler climates are often called "warm Zones" and include portions of the eastern, southwestern and southern US.
While the temperature ranges in these areas may seem cold, you'll still find that they're ideal for growing many varieties of plants. There are many varieties of succulents and tropical plants, as well as those that can withstand high heat. Zone 10a offers mild winters with cool summers. But be aware that the extreme heat may cause problems with your planting choices, so you'll want to choose carefully.

Zones 2-10 can be broken down into a or b with a minimum temperature difference of five degrees. This map is not comprehensive and is not always a good indicator of the best plants for your area. Many plants from Zones 2-10 are not able to survive in colder climates. You should therefore check the USDA's Plant Hardiness Maps before purchasing any seeds or plants. There are plenty of helpful resources online that can give you information on plant hardiness and the best time to buy them.
Zone 7 is the best zone for herbs and vegetables. Planting should take place in the fall. Plants should be planted in Zone 11b by mid-July.

Also, you should know which fruits and crops are most suitable for this area. It is possible for soil temperatures to vary in this area.
Climate is another important factor in planning a gardening plan. The summers in zone 10 are warmer than those of other zones. If you're planting in zone 10, you'll need to be careful about what type of plants you plant in your garden. Zone 11's climate is quite different to the rest of the US. The average temperature in Zone 10 is 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and the lowest point is 10 degrees in Massachusetts.
