My handsome & talented hubby built a cedar planter box for me. Yay! It’s gorgeous. It’s about 4’ long by 18" w and 18" deep.

I’m putting 3 tomatoes into it and crossing fingers that I’m not crowding them too much. It would still have more room in there together then by itself in a much smaller pot.

Transplanted some basil between two of the tomatoes.

Worm castings into each tomato plant hole, with light fertilizer on top of soil. Soaked soil pretty thoroughly. All Black Magic Soil.
