darin, they're not earthboxes, but very similar. they're self-watering planters from Gardener's Supply. You can get them in what they call a 'tomato success kit' that comes with the trellis, red plastic mulch, tomato fertilizer, and the potting soil. when I took this pic they were doing great. they got really big (at least twice as tall as you see in this pic) and were the best looking tomato plants I ever grew. then right after the japanese beetles came (not sure if this was related) they got some kind of disease and dried right up. I don't like to spray, so by the time I figured out I really had a problem it was too late. It was late enough in the season that I had a fairly decent tomato crop anyway. but if it hadn't been for that, I think I would have had a bumper crop. those plants were gorgeous! I'll be ready for it this year. got some organic sprays and I'll spray earlier. I also had some 'Orange Belle' peppers (3 plants) in one box that did really well.
