Both tomato beds have their cardboard mulch now. Slicing / dwarf / heirloom - type, and the sauce - type tomato plants.
They are not pretty, You-tube and master gardener - style beds, but the cardboard does a great job keeping them clear of weeds, and preventing soil fungal spores from splashing onto leaves and giving the plants diseases. It also cool the soil in the summer and helps retain moisture.
The tomato plants seem to be doing well despite some chilly, rainy weather during the past week.
