Looks good Dave. The wife and I have tried growing tomatoes here in SW FL but the bugs eat better than we do. We even tried plants on the screened lanai and the tomatoe bugs got to them. We used to grow tomatoes in RI (2 decades ago when we lived there) and it was simple. We planted small plants in the garden and added some manure. Got great tasting tomatoes. At the end of the year we roto tilled the dead plants and left over rotted tomatoes into the ground with a little chicken manure and lush tomatoe plants grew back every year. Here the only luck we have had is with lemon trees. We get lemons with so much juice in them it is insane.

Although these are not in the raised bed, they are getting ripe.
