Is the vegetable garden wheel divided into planting or climate zones. We are in zone 9 (semi – arid) with maximum 16-18 inches of annual rainfall. Thank you so much, Pamela Howard

Our Garden Wheels are generally designed for USDA Zones 4-8. However, if you have good irrigation and can shield your plants from the hot midday sun, then you will probably be ok with many of the vegetables on the Garden Wheel. I will pass your question onto Ruth Clausen herself. She is out of the country right now. Thanks for your question.
