Amy, the bigger the container, the easier the care once things heat up. Less watering. Snow peas (I like Mammoth Melting) look pretty, with their streaky leaves and white flowers, on trellises and can be replaced with running beans. Scarlet runners are edible, though not the best green beans, and have red flowers. Your seasons are much shorter, but DD used to grow sweet potatoes in her S. facing room in the winter and I'd cut them back and put them in the raised planters. By Fall, we'd have a nice little clump. Are mustards used in landscape in your area? Several years ago I planted fancy mustard in the planters for Fall/Winter. We went to one of our local international markets and there was our mustard labeled "Korean mustard"...I went home and cooked the landscaping (lol)!
