I'm not in Leilani, but in Mt. View. I think it's far rainier here.
I've had to make the topsy-turvy kind of planter out of my used 2 liter soda bottles. I start them from seed and transplant them.
We don't have a greenhouse so to get the seedlings going I put them under a canopy; the type I use for my car to keep things out of the rain. Once I've transplanted them to the 2 liter bottles I hang some under the canopy, and most all over the yard; mostly tied to trees to avoid too much rain.
I've only grown the mini types; cherry etc. They do much better in the summer.
