This Saturday, we built 15" deep raised beds out of cedar planks. We inserted 8 ft stakes that are pressure-treated to have support structures for a Florida weave pattern. The ground underneath was dug out 1 spade and mixed with compost. Then the beds were filled with a topsoil/garden soil mix. It was about 2 days worth of work...sooo tired. Then the tomatoes were planted about 2 feet apart. 1 cup of Tomato-Tone and 1 cup of earthworm castings went into each planting hole, well mixed. Then the beds were well watered. We also planted some herbs and greens in the ground next to the beds.
Below are some other pictures: (top going clockwise): Green giant blossoms, Sungold blossoms, Tomato seedlings reading to go into the beds, two (2) Prue's planted next to each other because their foliage is supposed to be sparse, a fused superbloom from Aunt Ginny, the "herb garden comprising of purple sage, English thyme, Russian kale, Curly kale, cilantro, and a stick of Thai basil.
