I do have them in the ground, I have better luck than in pots or planters. Yes I do rotate them around my small garden plot. No method to the madness though. I usually grow 8-10 plants, 1-3 of each variety I choose that year.
I have vacationed quite a bit in the Kalispell area, around Flathead Lake, Blaine Lake etc.

The summers there are quite a bit warmer. The main difference I found was the evenings never cooled off as much.

I am not sure though what the gardening zone is around Kalispell or when gardens are actually planted there or when the first killing frost usually occurs in fall. Calgary is around zone 3a.
