any secret to growing tomatoes and carrots?

Tomatoes are very sensitive to the Heat . Too hot = None .

Carrots need to have the ground worked often , looser soil = bigger Carrot .

When you plant tomatoes break the lower branches off and bury the stalk deep.
They will grow roots in those places and be very strong and produce more fruit.

Sure !!!

Several ways to do it …

If space is limited , look into the Tower method .

Can be done with T-posts and Coated Chicken Wire .
Which , to Us , is better than the Tires .
