The New Tomato Trellis

Trellising tomatoes among the lettuce

My list of things to do yesterday included trellising tomatoes. We have never done it this way before, but are willing to try something new.  I strung twine along the top of the greenhouse and then hung a line of twine down to each tomato plant. Later we will attach a clip to each string and around the plant stem and the vine will climb the twine.  The benefit of climbing up and down the ladder all morning, besides the free stairmaster workout, was visions of vines laden with juicy red tomatoes filling the greenhouse with their sweet scent. On the other hand, I also envisioned spiders swinging from string to string having a grand time until the tomatoes take over. Maybe I (Anna) shouldn't be allowed to work alone in the garden...
