Tomato garden and winter annuals

Question

I have a raised bed planter for tomatoes and live in the DC area. The only cool/cold weather annuals around here are pansies, cabbage and kale. Can any of these be planted in the tomato planter in the off season and not have a negative impact on the tomatoes (just to make the planter more attractive- its in the front yard)?

Answer 1

Yes, absolutely! This will not hurt a thing. The tomatoes will kill off any remaining plants when they are planted out. There would be no problem in doing this.
