"WASHINGTON -- Global warming is hitting not just home, but garden. The color-coded map of planting zones often seen on the back of seed packets is being updated by the government, illustrating a hotter 21st century.
It's the first time since 1990 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has revised the official guide for the nation's 80 million gardeners, and much has changed. Nearly entire states, such as Ohio, Nebraska and Texas, are in warmer zones."
Southland's frost records show the same trend - far fewer frosts now than in the past and trending toward none at all. Good for growing oranges perhaps, but welcomed also by every sap-sucking bug in creation.

Because of the well- documented secondary effects of climate change.
