Everything is looking great! I didn't see enough of the mystery plants to identify them better than you being on the spot there. I will note that if those tomatoes are indeterminant (like better boys, big boys, early girls etc) you will need much longer stakes for them. If they are bush tomatoes (didn't look like, but could be) then the short stakes will work fine heh. Oh, and I hope your family really loves basil and rosemary! 😁
