3a-4a according to Canadian hardiness which takes into account a few more factors, but there’s also microclimates. Some communities are totally fine to grow peppers and gourds/squashes.

Natures fucking weird.

Ahhh, yeah you're way up there, that sucks. I decided to grow New Mexico green chile varieties here in the Northeast in the US because I missed the chile verde I used to be able to get when I lived in Colorado. I'm still surprised at the results, this was all a big experiment.
