So, will your seed sellers give you a refund on the seeds they shouldn't have sold you because you are in the wrong zone?

Absolutely. Run over there right now & ask for the refund. Be sure to remind them of the free bag of cookies you're supposed to get, too.

Great news: I've found a very complete and easy-to-access group of climate zone maps. That link is now at the very top of list in the OP.

2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map --
For the first time, the map is available as an interactive GIS-based map, for which a broadband Internet connection is recommended, and as static images for those with slower Internet access. Users may also simply type in a ZIP Code and find the hardiness zone for that area.
The feature of simply clicking on your state is great: http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/#

"SproutRobot tells you when to plant and sends you seeds."
That's the promise, although at the moment this is simply an interesting toy, as ordering seeds is "disabled". Also, I think it just works for the US. I found it online, with responding raves & gripes almost equally divided. I gave it a whirl, using Casimira's zip code, since that was my last zip in N.O. It looks right, although I think they pulled their punches by only giving the date for starting tomatoes indoors.
Anyway, see what you all think. You don't have to sign up to play with it: http://sproutrobot.com/

Found two interesting-sounding seed companies. I started to put them in "planting from seed", but figured they might be more accessible here. Please add any you all think useful. Also, any knowledge you might have of a particular company, good or bad.

Bixa, I had a look at both of these websites and although have interesting stuff I found it much harder to negotiate than my old favourite, http://rareseeds.com/
On this website they put the seeds in categories which breakdown into smaller categories and so on. Its easy to find just what may interest you.
I have bought seeds twice from them and am still going to use unopened packets this summer. I like all the Asian stuff
