Thanks. I love Cherokee purple so I went ahead and grabbed one plant for this year. I also just planted 1015y onions and grabbed a few packs of peppers.
^the smaller tomato in the upper left hand corner is the Cherokee purple.

Boy those look good! I can't wait to get homesteads picked green, sprinkled with old bay and fried to perfection!!

Hey bud,
I have raised beds as well. I made mine out of landscaping timber. I wish I was in a better agricultural zone. It will be too cold here through may most likely.
As far as tilling in manure. I use this stuff called black cow. It's fairly cheap and works great.

Looking good Gary. I wish I had an outdoor space to plant some veggies. Since I don't, I'll follow along and live vicariously through you.

My favorite tomato too! I found a mini version of it last year called "Black Cherry". Puts out lots of golfball sized tomatoes and seemed more vigorous and disease resistant than a lot of my other tomatoes last year. My gardens still look like @thumper60 but I did scrape off a couple beds and toss down some lettuce seeds the other day. .

I got in my 2nd day of planting yesterday. Peas, beans, corn and soybeans last week. Squash, melons, cucumbers, cantaloupe yesterday. Rain on the way tonight, so should be popping soon.

Bright and sunny today! I'm smoking that pork shoulder
And I'll be fucking with the drip system while it's a smokin! Here's how the garden has been looking so far.
It's coming along.
I'm trying to keep things nice and tidy because last year was like a jungle lol
Edit: it made me wonder how I kept from going under

Drip system installed and pork still smokin
The one wavy drip line is because I had to go around established plants.
Internal temp is at 125 right now, still got a few more hours to go. As y'all can see, I removed all the skin except for around the hock. So that meat doesn't get over done.

Check it out. I pulled it off at 8pm and let it rest for 30 min. Now it's time to pull it and hit it with sauce.
