If you have bad soil, I'd work on creating a raised bed or planting in pots so you can bring in soil!
Do a raised bed off the ground with good soil from the nursery.
Hello. Growing in planters or pots might be an option to consider.
Additionally for the best local professional advice
I would highly suggest contacting your cooperative extension. These offices are manned by volunteer master gardeners on site there waiting to answer the communities questions that know your local situation quite well.
Master gardeners are required to volunteer back designated hours ( plus continuing education) each year to maintain MG certification -this community outreach and education is their goal.
If your office is closed....there Might be alternative online venues like Ask an Expert as well as emailing your local master gardeners extension office for their
guidance.... in a non contact manner.
Check with a local nursery. You can take a soil sample and have it analyzed. I have horrible soil, clay that doesn't drain, and we planted encore azaleas about 10 years ago. We dug the hole 2x the size of the ball, filled with potting soil, and planted. They bloom from Mar-Apr to October and are green in the winter. I'm in zone 7a.
The plants for year round depends on your growing zone and climate. Go to your local nursery and ask them what lives year round since we don't know what zone you live in,etc.
