So what.

With annuals (which includes most all veggies) the growing zone rarely
makes much difference... veggie seed packets all say "sow when danger
of frost is past" (for most that leaves about half the year for
growing). Growing zone matters with perennials, for severity of
winter temps. Naturally there are some exceptions, especially with
altitude, but not many plant tomatoes above the tree line of the grand
teatons.

Most all veggies found at the typical US stupidmarket produce dept.
can be grown sucessfully most anywhere in the lower 48.
