You're totally right. I was giving advice about zone 4b/5a where I live (classic internet gardening advice about different zones). If you live south of here you have much more growing seasons for cooler weather vegetables in Autumn and winter crops. We just don't with a first frost in mid-october and hard frost a week or two behind. We only get salad greens with the short time between too hot and frozen.
I did forget about bulbs. Go hard for bulbs to get yourself ready for spring.
