More Boxes

This is the view from our back deck. More boxes. We've got tomatoes, kale, Globe zucchini, chocolate mint, pineapple sage and rosemary planted here. We are doing an experiment of sorts. We have tomatoes planted in the garden out in the full sun. These other boxes are in partial shade. Because of the pergola, they don't get the full noon-day sun, but they do get the HOT afternoon sun(around 3:00-dusk). Last year our tomatoes burned up. That was in part to a not yet perfected watering system and partly because we had over 60 days of 100+ degrees outside. We want to see the yield this year with a better watering system. We also want to see if the plants will thrive in full sun or do they like a little shade from the heat.
