Sunset, April, 2005

* When offering garden advice, we refer to the 32 climate zones created for the Sunset Western Garden Book. They factor in summer highs, winter lows, elevation, and rainfall to determine what will grow where. Nurseries often use these zones as well. To find your zone, check www.sunset.com or the Western Garden Book.

* Our restaurant price ranges represent the average price (in U.S. dollars) of dinner entrees, unless we're recommending breakfast or lunch. They're not used for establishments that don't serve entrees, such as coffeehouses and ice cream shops.
