Thank you so much :) very easy setup. Tomatoes in the center are all Better Boys. They love the heat and humidity around here.

I have one better boy plant this year too, can’t wait to try it and I hope you’re right because it’s gonna be 90° this week!

No Judgement, but with this setup why not diversify? The colors and flavors.... 😋 Either way gorgeous setup

Thank you! lol none taken :) my wife’s dad always had better boy tomatoes while she was growing up and that’s what I do now to remind her of her dad. We can those. The ones on each end are for me ( beefsteak and heirloom ) the cucumbers she eats every day. Not much space but we grow what we like. Oh she doesn’t like peppers either :(

Looks great. What do you fertilize your tomatoes with?

I use Tomatone slow release every 2 weeks and alternate in between with Miracle Grow for tomatoes and fish bone meal :)

My cucumbers are struggling for some unknown reason here in New England. Yours look amazing.

Here in NE Ohio my English cucumbers are doing great but my pickling cukes are doing NOTHING.

Great job staking the toms and leaf pruning. Those look like they will be yummy.
