Tim..thanks! I'm surprised by the growth of the plants in the boxes. At first I was worried there was too much fertilizer, but they have been setting fruit and lots of flowers. The plants are very thick and bushy. I want to see just how much growth the boxes can support so I'm not pruning at all. I'm starting another 15 boxes outside this week along with my usual in ground garden. 4 of the boxes are original EB's someone had given me, so I'll have some good comparisons.

Mantis...I'm putting two plants in each box, so far they are supporting the growth. Thanks for the GH compliment! I built it over the winter so I'd have it for spring. No plans for winter growing, I'm using it for season extension. I'd like to start in mid March and go through November with only water barrels for supplemental heat. Our regular season is June to early October. I put the tomatoes in there on 4/7. Here's a link to more GH pics if your interested .
