Behold!  12 tomato plants of three varieties (Juliet, Estiva, Parks CR improved) planted April 28 in a lovely 20' x 4' raised bed with recently tilled in compost and lime, staked in 40" tall wire cages holding 75% translucent cloth to prevent sun scald, with drip irrigation and "green plastic" to suppress weeds and warm the soil.
