newbie questions for 7b SFQ

Hi,

We are trying to build 3 4X4 boxes, 10 inches deep this weekend. I'm thinking based on the materials I am finding locally that it will be less than 1/4 vermiculite, less than 1/4 peat moss (coco peat?) and 50% compost. Does that sound ok for Birmingham, AL?

This is my current plan, but I am concerned about the trellised plants on the west. DH would prefer to leave them there for aesthetics, but I am wondering if we should turn them 90 degrees and have trellis plant on the north sides.

The actual plant locations are still up in the air as I haven't investigate companions and interplanting just yet.

In 7b is it too warm for carrots, cauli/broccoli, peas?

I'd like to set out seeds tomorrow. All input appreciated!
