Ess reminded me for like 90 days straight to “water ‘matos.” Here is one of the first fruits of our labor.

We grew this Japanese eggplant in our garden. Mykala sampled it: tasted awful. The tomatoes, though — Brandywine heirloom variety — have exceeded our wildest expectations in taste, sweetness, and quantity.
A “GrowBox“—the bottom half provides water in a reservoir, which is wicked up by the soil. You only have to water about once a week! Clockwise from upper left: tomato, cucumber, kale, zucchini, rosemary, parsley. The consistent watering helps, as does the included organic fertilizer. The burlap-looking thing keeps weeds down, reduces moisture loss from the soil, and apparently provides some nutrients as well, though we’re a little skeptical on that part. Let’s see what we’ve got in August!
