For those of us in Zone 8b we have a great resource of information through Pierce County in the Edible Gardens Workshop Series. If you haven't checked this out, I would encourage you to do so. Although they are currently having to host these via Zoom meetings instead of in person there is still a wealth of knowledge to be had. There are links to the recordings of some of the past Zoom meetings as well for those that might have missed them.
