Is the tomato and pepper plant surrounded by corn plants? Just curious. I hope you get enough pollination on the corn. Usually two or three rows of 8-12 plants is what I hear is best, but I have not grown corn so I will let experienced folks comment on that. ;)

I will say the only answer to the question "How big is your garden?" is "Not big enough!"
I have 1/5 acre (including a house and pool). If I had 1 acre, I would plant it. ;)

I think it looks really nice but I have always heard that tomatoes and corn are bad companions. I would put the tomatoes on the other end from the corn. As the corn grows of course it will shade the tomatoes and pepper, two plants that like sun. Is there corn on both sides of the tomatoes? I can't tell exactly if thats small corn plants on the one side or not. I like the decorative fence, gives the bed a nice finished look.

If you're down in south Florida, your tomatoes might really appreciate the shade that corn will offer when it gets really hot. I have too many tomato plants to shade and they just shut down once the temps start getting in the 95-100 degree range. Maybe I should plant some corn next to them, LOL!
