There are more gardeners this year due to economic uncertainty, food costs, and more. Just a reminder to check your USDA zone - they changed in 2023. apps.npr.org/plant-hardin... @npr.org #garden #food #economy
The USDA’s gardening zones shifted. This map shows you what’s changed in vivid detail
There's a good chance your zone shifted when the USDA updated its plant hardiness map in 2023. Zoom in on what that means for your garden.

There's a way to get healthier without even going to a gym. It's called NEAT
All those daily activities we'd rather avoid — taking the stairs, cleaning the house, etc. — have a big metabolic payoff. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis can help manage weight and boost health.
