Gardening in New Hampshire

New Hampshire runs USDA zones 3 through 6 – granite soils, cold winters, short summers, and elevation that shapes microclimates. The trade-off: a tight growing window in the White Mountains, late frosts, and a season that demands hardy perennials and quick vegetables. These guides are written for New Hampshire’s actual northern conditions.
