I'm in USDA zone 5a, and zone 5b is mere miles south of me. While it's not a perfect system, I have been using it, along with reading from the horticultural societies at the local universities, as a guide for what plants will most likely survive the winters here.
Yeah my zoning is somewhat borderline too. I try to think of it as a high level guideline. And then for fine tuning I pay attention to what I see in other people’s yards, and try to talk locally about what works/ doesn’t. Our local buy nothing group is pretty good about donating extra starts or even extra yield.
