the other three have my herbs and one bed is for roses. Usually I plant tomatoes in two of them and peppers in the other, along with radishes, sweet basil (which always does well) and a cucumber or squash. sometimes an eggplant. I will stick to only one bed for the toms and peppers each year and see how that does. Again, thanks
