    The separating tomatoes from peppers is fake news. I've grown mine side by side for a decade and have never had a spicy tomato. 🤣🤣

    Love that you want to grow food, for me gardening is so rewarding and kind of fun. Tomatoes grow pretty wide and tall, so you will need Wire Tomato Cage Supports for each plant, Cucumbers and Okra can use these as well. Amazon 3 for $16.90 Round or Triangle shapes and various sizes. Some square pavers would look nice under the bench, straw mulch would help keep your soil moist. Happy Gardening !!! 🥒🫑🌶🍅👍❤

    I think moving the bench away from the fence is the best idea. I have a similar bench (w\o planters) in my yard, away from the fence. ❤

    I don't have any advice because I don't know anything about gardening 😂 I'm going to keep watching for ideas. However, the bench is cute ❤

    I think the garden should be out where you have it, it will get sun on all sides. Up against the fence will be shaded part of the day. I'm glad you didn't out it up against the house, the overhang would have shaded it some and not allow rain to help with the watering.
    Once you decide where the garden will be permanently, you can always pipe a water source closer. It's a good start!
    P.S. - I didn't know about the peppers near tomatoes either, good information. TY.

    You can plant tomatoes with peppers but know that only spicy peppers should be away from all other plants. Also research companion planting.

    You should have put down cardboard boxes before you put the ground covering down. The cardboard help kelp the weeds down and it won't grow through the covering. If you put down cardboard boxes wet it down really well then put the covering over that just a suggestion...I love that arrangement it look great like that and your vegetables will love you too😊
