Hey all,

A while ago I wrote up a massive chart / guide in google sheets for all of the perennial plants I could think of that had a major human connection (food, medicine, fiber, ect). I organized based on their usda zones which aren't perfect but give a pretty good idea of what things can be grown where. As well as their layer in a food forest, so there's a different layer for underground rhizomes, a canopy layer, a groundcover layer, ect. It's shaping up to be a pretty good resource for people planning out a food forest

Anyway I've been updating it recently since it's starting to get cold outside and I can't work out there as much. Was wondering if people had suggestions for me to add.

Better conversions between growing zones would be a good start. Trying to mash Australian growing zones into the USDA ones is always going to be difficult, but the current map has Sydney and Melbourne in the same growing zone as the Simpson Desert which is certainly an interesting choice.
