Sun is up at 6:46 and down at 9:15 today. We pick up 5-7 minutes a day til June 21 then start back down.
I plant stuff that your guys in zone 4-5 plant for the most part. My neighborhood is in a microclimate so about a zone warmer than surrounds. Hill are zone 2-3. A lot of what fails does so due to my ineptitude; water too much, too little, PH, fertilizer. You name it. Our soil is good a good mix and is slightly acidic. Peonies love it along with lilies, dahlias (taken up each fall) iris and lots more.
