(With care, they freeze pretty well, too.)
As boring as it sounds, it is well worth trying potatoes; they can taste *so* much better.
(I also love fresh peas; always had good luck with them in Edinburgh.)

We are definitely going to try potatoes, though the past couple summers have been so wet I'm not too sure how well they will do. We sowed some strawberry seeds in a pot, but they are not interested in growing. I suspect it is too cold for them, even inside. I plan to buy a couple plants this weekend and grow them in large pots.
I like the idea of the square foot garden -- it sounds like they are essentially they are raised beds.
