My husband's handy work

Max has made 2 very beautiful (in my opinion) planter boxes. We currently have our tomatoes, cilantro, basil, and peppers in the large box. The small box will mostly contain lettuces for the fall.
All of the plants shown here were started by seed in our window box except the basil.

I have to say, though, this cool summer we are experiencing isn't exactly helping my tomato plants like it is my lettuce plants. The 60-70 degree coolness has extended the lettuce season, but it seems to slow the development of flowers and fruit on the tomato plants.
