Hey thanks for posting the pix.
The Amish paste variety tomatoes are aligned in the picture because a wire fence will be inserted between the two rows. The tomatoes are indeterminate, meaning they keep growing through the growing season, thus needing something to cling to. I'll wait to put the fence in once the cool weather is done with and I can remove the frost blankets. I did notice the leaf edges do show a touch of frost from the 30 degree night earlier this week. The plants look OK. The left side of the raised bed is open for something surprising...
