The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a map with 'growing zones' on it for all of North America. This growing zone is made up of minimum and maximum temperatures, how many frost free days there are, etc. and gives you a number. "0" is the coldest, Arctic area, and the higher the number, the warmer the climate area is, with more days to grow. Your "microclimate" may alter how many growing days you get, like living in a valley or on a hill, whether you are in the city or a rural area, the amount and size of lakes nearby and how the wind blows.
Off the top of my head, I believe Ohio is US Zone 6. You can grow just about anything in zone 6, but no tropical plants. You will not grow coconut trees, but you can grow peach trees, for example.
Ask gardeners in Ohio what they are growing. Call your extension agent, go to the library. Check out the local farmer's markets too.
