I think you need to go wider.

Run some drip irrigation tape and you are good....if you wanted to get fancy you could face those blocks to look nicer.

I realize it's already built and hindsight is 20/20 but...
That's a lot of cinder blocks for a narrow bed. I would shorten it by 4 blocks and add those to the ends to double the width.

Fill up the cinder blocks with dirt and plant strawberries.

Tomatoes are not gonna work in that shallow dirt

Two cinderblocks should be about 16 inches of depth, that's enough for strawberries. Plus it looks like he put them on dirt. I've seen it done and it works well enough. Lettuce would probably be better for the size come fall.
