Mix of melons, peppers and tomatoes. Not expecting all to live and some to be culled, I don’t have space for 12 tomatoes and 9 peppers in the garden, but the best will make the cut.

    Looking good! Have you grown tomatoes before? If not, think about how you’re going to support them. In my experience, tomato cages don’t go high enough. Remesh makes for a decent material to make DIY cages out of. There’s also the Florida weave. Even when I’ve grow detriment tomatoes they inevitably grow to be massive.

        That looks neat. I have the space, and the support structures, to support larger plants. It still might be worth looking at dwarfs because we get so. many. tomatoes. Not that that’s really a problem though.

      You nailed it on the cages hahaha.

      I’m trying to figure out something, it would also be necessary to cover it at some point. I can make a frame and attach a trellis however I want, redseal carpenter, I know my way around some wood.

      5 plants in that area was definitely too many though.
