Hi there I love your site! I am busy planting in a summer rainfall area that is prone to frost and some pretty cold temperatures in winter (June/July/August). I am planting a food garden and need to use the food to feed many people, growing peas in pots will not work. What do you suggest, as we are planting in the ground. Warmly Dee

Hi Dee, Raised beds are your best bet for summer rainfall and winter frost. Raised beds will keep the earth warmer in winter and allow for better drainage during the wet summer. email me [email protected] if you need further assistance.
