- I pinch like crazy! once the larger plants start to hit over 5 feet a big brandywine can pull a plant to its knees. I think this year im just going to let one go and see what happens- Know where I can get an 11 foot cage? The Tomato project
I don't pinch, never have but I also have more room to let the tomatoes spread out. Mine are trellised the way the commercial growers do it locally by using stakes and string.
They were. They were from the 2004 garden. I used chemical fertilizers at the time which I have gradually moved away from. If I could come up with a pickup I could get all of the manure I could want locally as the county I live in is a very agricultural area.

Hmmm... an 11-foot cage for your untamed tomato... How about trying your local zoo or a traveling circus supply store? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you report back later in the season and let us know how The Tomato Project is going!
