Those plants look a little too close. They'll be stunted if they grow too close and won't expand out to their full potential. Other than that, I like the setup.
That's about the way I started out. Now I got about 1/2 the yard planted. And the rest in chicken coops :wacko :wacko
9dawgs, I believe the boys are right in saying the tomatoes are a little close, they do need room to grow, maybe you could move a couple to the out side rows in place of the marigolds in order to give them room. With all the good stuff you put in that bed they ought to really grow! They'll probably need to be staked or supported with a wire cage, too.
I'm not going to show my wife your good looking bed, already have too many honey-dos :rolleyes . Our raised beds are made from cross ties and are many, many years old, some are deteriorating to the point where they need replacing. We fill them with mushroom compost about every other year and it does very well with tomatoes and peppers. It is so wet here that very little field work has been done, corn normally would have already been plowed once by now and it's all going to be late this season. If the rain continues this year maybe like the Old Testament 7th year rest for the land.

Mine is off to a good start. I am still using the same 2 raised beds but this year just started using my leaves as mulch to help with water retention and surface temperatures.
Yeah it should be on the tag or pack of seeds

If I remember correctly only the indeterminate plants need the suckers pulled off but only pull the suckers found below the existing blooms on the plant.
Here is a video that explains it better than I ever could
