Square Foot Gardening List - http://myweb.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I am on the cusp of Zones 4 and 5, too--depending on the year.  I call
myself Zone 4b to make sure any fruit trees, etc. that need specific
chilling will make it in my garden.  I have situated my sq. ft. veggie
garden against a 7-foot cedar fence, where it's surrounded by concrete
sidewalks, a porch and protected lawn that faces south.  I figure I have
gained a zone there, at least for pushing sowing dates and end of harvest.
My point is that every yard has microclimates.  Find the sunniest, most
protected area in yours, and then build your veggie garden there.
Conversely, if you plant fruit or perennials that do better with more cold
in winter (such as many apples and rhubarb), plant them out in the open
where the snow will accumulate and the winds will howl.
