Actually Tomatoes and peppers grow really well here, you should check out the wasatch community garden plant sale here, I planted over twenty varieties of tomatoes here last year, thanks to them promoting heirlooms and interesting varieties

I didn’t see the ornamentals you mentioned but maybe they planted them as a companion plant to further the health of the vegetable….??

The raised beds in this video were made with 2×6 lumber that was stacked 3 tall, so about 18″ tall overall. Please check my other videos for an episode I talk about how high to build your raised beds. For MOST things, 12″ will be sufficient.

Those sculptures in the background are sliced peppers – red, orange, green and yellow. John, check out my “Sunflowers in the Yarden 2010” video on my channel. I planted lots of veggies in my front yard. Cheers!
