Here's more in a raised bed. That's cucumbers growing in the red pipe tower in the background. Last year I grew tomatoes in the red thing but I rotate my crops each year to prevent plant diseases and keep the soil healthy. Next year I'll grow early sweet peas in the red thing and harvest them before tomato planting time so I can grow late tomatoes in the red thing again.
In case you're wondering, I grow mostly indeterminate tomatoes as they have a much longer harvest than do determinate varieties developed for commercial growers who want to harvest their tomatoes all at once. Most of the plants and seeds being sold today are determinate but if you'll read the fine print you'll still find plenty of indeterminate plants. Indeterminate plants still give you lots of tomatoes in the summer but continue to produce steadily until frost. Just before frost I pull up my plants and hang them upside down in an enclosed shed where the green fruits slowly ripen and provide us with homegrown tomatoes until January without heat or a greenhouse. Here's an end shot showing the end of an old shovel handle inside the PVC pipe.
And this final shot shows the screw that holds it all together. The only tools needed was a saw and a drill driver with a Phillips head bit. In case you're wondering, the faucet is supplied with only rain water from approximately 2200 gallons I store to get me through the dry spells. And the runoff from my garden? It goes back into my underground water storage tanks until at which point I simply run out of storage space.
