Where's N, S, E, & W?

North is up.

South side is a street. Here is a picture from last year

Peppers on the east will get shaded by the faster growing tomatoes.

If the beans are bush, they'll be ok sun-wise, but if they are vining, they'll grow tall and potentially shade your eggplant which absolutely loves the sun and heat.

I'd sure want a lot more room between my food crops and the street given all the chemicals and traffic emissions so I'd move all that N into the empty space. You don't really need 2' sq for pepper plants so those could go a little closer and further from the street too.

Have you grown WES and Brandy Boy before and been happy with the production? Great tomatoes but not big producers IME.

I would send Sungold And SS100 to the back and bring up Fresh Salsa and Jersey Boy. Also if the is opportunity to get other varieties, try Rio Grande and compare to Fresh Salsa, as this was such a great salsa tomato for me.

I live in a small community about 2500 people and on a circle drive so very little traffic. Historically the tomatoes closest to the road do the best.

Brandy boy did well for me last year. Really liked the flavor of Wes.

What do you suggest for a very prolific tomato that's good for sauce and slicing?

Brandy boy has been the most prolific tomato I've ever grown (and that's in more than 30 years of growing tomatoes. Of course I've never grown near as many varieties as some on here so...).

Well i'm off to a good start on the garden. Slightly changed up plans a little as I've gotten things in. I get in too much of a hurry and just start planting

Wes - my new favorite tomato.

BrandyBoy - 2nd year had really good luck last year.

Soon to be a serene and magical place to be! Great start!

In So CA close to the border, we always make our salsa to include garlic, onions and cilantro. I see jalapenos and tomatoes, but what about the rest? I don't see any of those in your garden. Just sayin.....,

Suzi - valid point. I have an herb planter box in the other driveway. I shall add photos tomorrow.

garlic - I haven't ventured down that road outside of some wild garlic which produced some really small bulbs.
