I am also Zone 4ish ( Northern Idaho by the Canadian border.) We've been
able to produce tomatoes, early june with the siberians but found the
flavor could not compare with a longer season tomato. Customers would
ignore them once the others came in but they made a nice salsa fresca that
sold well. Did really well with mixed colored cherries, prolific, disease
vesistant, sold for $2.50-3/pint. gold nugget sun cherry....
Soil temps are critical. I used to start my tomatoes 3 weeks earlier and
found the stress of waiting to get out set them back more than if I just
started later. If the soil wasn't warm the plants got stunted and took a
while to rebound.
