Looking good, it fits perfectly in that space. Good luck with it ! although I think you may have planted too many toms in the pot in the third pic? They need room for the roots to grow.

Ali.

Those chilies look perfect! I think I definitely need to invest in a grow house. From the looks of it, it would be worth the cost in the long run!
