Yeah, for certain vegetables, weather is everything, even in semi-controlled growing in raised beds and huge pots. I have just doubled the size of my raised bed and put in another foot of garden soil mixture. That extra foot will now give me approximately three feet deep garden soil and I will get better drainage. It took nine yards of garden soil mix to achieve this result. I have already ordered six pounds of gourmet garlic for fall planting. I am going to plant 10-14 varieties - 4-6 softnecks, 4-6 Creoles, and 2-3 hardnecks.
