Well, if you want to grow potatoes, asparagus, and turnips, you will surely not be disappointed, as they all grow just fine without issues.

For more sensitive stuff, historically zone 4 was more accurate, but the last decade has at least been on the edge of 5, with a small asterisk depending on elevation. Median last frost was around June 1, but I don’t think that it’s come after May 15 for at least ten years, and the season goes much further into the fall than it used to.

Thank you so much! I guess I could always use zone 5 for the more tolerant cold plants and switch to 4 just to be save for the more delicate ones ~ great advice thanks!

You are correct , elevation is a big factor. Our frost free days have been increasing the last decade. I would go with 5B
