Had a long silly interior dialog about whether I could fit 6 tomato plants into a new 3'x6' bed. My epiphany was, why not make it a 4'x8' bed? After much to-ing and fro-ing about where to position the new bed where it might get plenty of sun, I put my legendary carpentry skills to work and attached it to the western end of my existing bed.

My very hearty tomato plants are positioned in the new bed, waiting for some soil. They've been in my living room window for several weeks, and outdoors on days when it's been warm. In the existing bed there's a barely visible row of 2 dozen carrot sprouts (click photo for larger version). Above them will go a pair of eggplants and a pair of bell peppers.
