Looks good. I love growing tomatoes.

Tomatoes love fish emollision, fyi :) Actually plants love it too. All natural fertilizer. That is what I always use on my tomatoes and I get lots and lots of fruit.

Yeah, we'll see what happens. Juliet and Jelly Bean are grape tomatoes, Sun Gold is a yellow cherry, and then Cherokee Purple and Arkansas Traveler are both heirloom full-size.

Yup! I have some~ But thank you for the tip! Also, part of using the self-watering containers is that there's a strip of fertilizer at the front of each one that gradually filters down into the potting mix as the season progresses.

They look great! So healthy :)

Thank you! So far so good. I won't count it a success until I get some veggies, though. =P

You've got quite the green thumb!

Well... sorta. XD The veggies are doing good, but my flowers apparently hate me. I had two mini roses commit suicide and my morning glories are... doing something weird. =P

I learned last year that cukes grow and grow and grow and need something to grab onto. They'll climb the railing but you might want something else behind them for their little fingers to latch onto.

Yeah... I'm keeping an eye on them. The two plants you see there are a variety called 'Bush Pickle' which should bush up more than it vines everywhere, but it may still have some trailers. I planted some seeds for a variety called Spacemaster 80, but they haven't poked their little heads out. I'm wondering if it's been too cool.

My next trick, actually, is to see if I can grow some salad greens that will tolerate the summer heat. I have a few varieties in mind, I just need to decide where I'm going to buy~
