Expert Response
Thank you for your question about growing Concord grapes in your USDA Zone 5b garden. Concord grapes are considered very hardy, surviving temperatures as low at -30 Degrees F. See this article from Penn State University Extension:
https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/growing_grapes_in_the_backyard
The average annual extreme minimum temperature in your zone 5b garden is -15 to -10 degrees F.
Concords are described in the research literature as being "very hardy", and they should be hardy for you in Gambier. Make sure that you purchase from a reputable source so that the stock is vigorous. Here's some information from OSU's Ohioline on planting, pruning, and fertilizing your new grapes:
