I have been working so hard to get my garden started but physical disability make it hard to get so much done at one time. I have probably gone WAY over my head but it has been fun and challenging just the same.

I want to plant some green peas, one called "canoe" and one "wando" I want to plant some sweet peas. Best I can figure our zone is 8b. We live in zip code 92220 but that is the city at 2300 ft. elevation -- we are at 3600. We have the luxury of 4 seasons here. There are peach & some apricot orchards out on our Banning Bench. It bumps 100 in the summer with a typical 20% humidity. Winters come on slowly but we get snows sometimes as early as November but it doesn't stick. Most everything goes dormant.

We are blessed with a small ranch with several fruit trees (apple/white fig/pomegranate/nectarine/peach, white & cling/cherries/almonds/persimmon, Fuji & hachiya.

We grow wonderful tomatoes, peppers, corn, green beans but I want to add peas, garlic, onions, beets, broccoli, and cauliflower, red & green cabbage. I have 2 12' x 12' boxes and 4 - 4' x 8' boxes and plenty of ground in between. I am making a 4' x 4' box for asparagus which I am going to plant ASAP also - I bought them in root or tuber form.

I also bought a several varieties of summer bulbs/roots/tuber that must go in the ground!!! I have already tilled the ground.

I wanted to mention that we have very clay soil here.

Sorry for writing a “book” the first time I post but I am desperate for information and HELP before I waste all my money in mistakes!!

Thanks for any help I can get!
