Every year I plant tomatoes. And by August of every year, I am tying the vines on the fence, stabilizing the tomato cages with bamboo stakes and generally trying to keep the vines from toppling the flimsy tomato cages you normally find in the garden center. Well, not this year. I got myself some by-gosh TOMATO CAGES. They're lovely. Heavy gage wire, tall, collapsible for easy storage. They weren't as cheap as the round ones, but they are going to do the job. They're a little hard to see against the gray fence, but here's what I mean:
They are just great. I installed them when I planted my tomatoes, herbs and the annual flower bed today. You can't see much because of the shadows but it's looking very spiffy:
How nice to get started on the summer chores. It was a beautiful day to work outside this afternoon, too. Back outside tomorrow to plant more stuff. I love it.

Wow those are great cages and you know, this all looks so clean, happy and ready for growth and joy!!! Good for you and for us to share with.
Already dreaming of fresh tomatoes warm from the garden. Too bad I don't have a garden...
Decca, you don't need a garden - do you have a place to set a large flower pot? I've grown tomatoes in a 24" diameter pot and they did fine. And no pesky weeding...
Ooh, tomatoes in the garden - how lovely. You get really hot summers, so don't need a greenhouse. Completely outdoor toms are a bit of a gamble over here. What varieties are you doing? Any of those lovely heritage ones?
