Nice. I never could get tomatoes to do worth a darn in a 5 gallon bucket, but yours are doing well. Peppers do well.

hell yeah - looks good.

down here in these parts you either a. must have a raised garden or b. grow in buckets ... because most of this region is near or even below sea level. Also, there is much clay in the soil on top of it rains inches and inches at a time and gardens flood easily.

I couldn't ever get the size i wanted out of buckets, but have had really good luck growing cherry varieties and peppers as its much easier to dial in soil PH and nutrient needs on a bucket level.
