These are sturdy enough to last a while, unlike a lot of others I've seen. When you can tell from a professional digital photo that something is cheap and flimsy...! These were a snap to put together. Get the ground level before putting them down. (I tried to re-level after they were put together and the angles went a little wonky.) The photos are from the very start of the season. I put about 5 large bags of soil into each plot, and they each fit 2 tomato plants along the back row. You could get up to six, I think, comfortably, if you want to concentrate on tomatoes. I also planted lettuce, carrots, and radishes. I put pots in front (squash and radish) and planter boxes on top of cinder blocks behind (zucchini) to optimize my irrigation effort.
