What I did this weekend
Or Sunday, rather. We bought an upright planter thingy and Toby painted it with water sealant and then put it together for me yesterday. Then Sunday morning we hit the shops and bought a couple of extra tall pots, plus dirt, rocks for drainage, and seedlings, then I spent the day getting that all set up.
Distorted because that was taken with the Panorama setting on my phone's camera. The wood looks warty due to water beading on the sealant, by which we can tell: it works.
Anyway! Tomatoes in the pots on either side, and patio tomatoes in the single planters on the lwoer corners of the setup. Onions in the bottom middle two (because onions), Japanese eggplant in the top middle. The left upper planters hold 3 varieties of peppers (jalapeno, a non-spicy hybrid jalapeno, and a bell pepper) and cilantro, and the right upper planters hold 3 varieties of basil (sweet, lime, and cinnamon) and rosemary.
This is an experiment: we can easily rearrange the planters as they just slot onto the slats, and as they hold plastic pots that we can remove and rearrange as well. We'll see how things grow and which ones thrive, and rearrange them as necessary for more or less sun and so on.

if you get bored with hand-watering, i bet you could run a drip system vertically up the two sides of it, with emitter line coming to each pot. it would be slightly odd but i bet it would work.
anyway, great-looking vertical garden!
