Beds closest to the camera are sweet and hot peppers, middle are garlic and onion, and furthest are a bed of determinate and indeterminate tomatoes.
Trying out terra Cotta watering reservoirs to even out watering schedules this year, so we'll see it goes. Last year I would get blossom end rot on the tomatoes due to lack of calcium uptake from uneven watering.
Also trying to weave the tomatoes vertically with the twine to maximize airflow and hopefully minimize disease.
The stakes for the peppers are for eventual sun cloth to minimize sunburn on the fruit.
All experiments to hopefully fix problems from the previous year.
Zone 6a, southern Iowa.

Looks fabulous! Adding a good layer of mulch will help with the moisture consistency as well as putting some cover over your terracotta. I know some people cork the pots and bury them. Good luck!
