Minnesota has significant rainfall (777 millimeters/year in Minneapolis). We are one of those areas expected to get even more rainfall due to climate change. Already known as "the land of 10,000 lakes... and 10,000,000 mosquitoes". I'm not sure how the ecosystem will respond. We're already prone to large areas of flooding due to flatness from the glacial scraping of ages past.
I grew up in west Texas (83 millimeters/year in Midland), so I'm familiar with the desert life. I like rain better. :) If it wasn't for my terrible allergies, I'd go live in the tropics where plants are always growing.
P.S. You asked about garden size. Hard to say, because I grow edible things everywhere. The entire lot is about 1600 square meters. Thornless raspberry and strawberries have taken over much of the front yard. This little garden area in the original photo is only about 3x10 meters. I have some grapes growing in there too, and I hope to harvest a few this year.
