You are right npub1eavnczg44hkruat47xlr463h5hczyqjqduylj7nlyatx4enn0fzqu7g6f3 (npub1eav…g6f3) the two seas have a moderating effect in Schleswig-Holstein (the northernmost state of Germany).
However, unlike e.g. Italy there are no mountains stopping cold polar winds getting down here. So usually it's not that cold, but with the right winds we got down to -15°C (5F) a few days ago. The lowest temperature in the greenhouse in recent days was -7°C (19F). During the day it heated up to 10°C (50F).
And that is the tricky part for the plants. Just a week ago we had 10°C (50F) outside. There is no consistent cold winter temperature any more. With 10 or even 15°C (50-59F) sometimes in January/February, plants start shooting and get killed by -10°C in March/April.
So in some way our growing zone became milder like yours, but the cold snaps are the tricky part.
