Got em caged in in hopes that they’ll fair ok on how bad hurricane season becomes View attachment 2460990View attachment 2460991View attachment 2460992
They look great! Love the rabbit / chicken / rodent wire, Way cheaper than buying tomato cages too,I move em all over the yard I have some rings I’ve kept around 5-6 years. In fact I just took 2 off some peach trees that were smaller and have been around em for 4 years without being removed and still ready to go on something else lol

Mine will be much smaller started late and plan to top her again possibly have smaller more plentiful Bud sets we’ll see how they veg the next week then decide lol gotta clean up all the bottoms in a few days wanted to let em settle and pull what they needed form the 2 lowest leaves in each plant before I remove em

If you’re needing wire for support, I think small opening mesh wire is a nightmare. Virtually impossible to inspect (loupe) leaves, thread branches, check soil, and frustrating to trim within the cage. Obviously if it’s for critter control you may have to use it. But check out remesh sheets (at any big box store) with the 6” openings - a little more expensive, but easy to size and they make nice drying racks.

My normal runs are with 3” scrog nets (hand made)

I hang and dry whole plants preferably right in the scrogs still. Like how Frostette is

For the mesh I plan to let her for a bit then remove that lower mesh, I plan to put 4 legs around her then put the mesh up higher for her to grow through, this is the first season that I’ve had one out here (in the ground, I’ve worked this soil in the garden for near 4 years organically now) , I ran one in the mini greenhouse last year lol

But it take a a bit to weave them out of the mesh but makes for a frustration free grow, the extra 15 minutes I spend unweaving them really is worth it to not have to deal with those floppy colas lol

But I know it’s preference plus volume of plants you’re running, if I was running a large volume I’d run a similar method but long horizontal ropes, tied outside the scrogged zone, pot for each tie off, (1’ openings or less if preferred, then when harvest comes untie one end slide dope through, do for each one and done, it’ll take time and prep to set up the posts and ropes (I can already think of options vs multiple posts), think single post multiple tie offs horlontally, basically top of a clothesline outside perimeter of the area

Can even double height em, built out of steel, PVC, wood… lots of of options


But it’s garden time!

Finished off the first 300 tomato clips for the vertical trellis, grabbed the new bag lol, these plants are EXPLODING in this heat, already grew 9” in a week since I clipped them last, big defol was done the other day in the indeterminates. Near a wheelbarrow full of foliage was removed, just off those 3 rows, then the Row of various varieties of cherry tomatoes are filling out now, got them 50% full in each zone almost so it’s time to start training vertical next

Sweet lunchbox peppers are showing they are about to double in size, once I see them do that I’ll remove the new flower sets that have already reformed since last stripped, imma make these plants some MONSTERS

4 varieties of Romas are going insane never had such clean growth this fast I really amended the soil in fall, and again at planting I think it’s paying off for the xtra bit of time!

Added 1’ height markers to show indeterminates the a height and growth rate

Dobby the guard dog is on high alert for chipmunks and squirrels

The plants on the porch look great after their heavy FPF watering yeaterday, (also gave the same mount tot he plant in the ground in the garden for her watering

Great work 👏
 
Great work 👏
Thank you! It’s really shaping up, my daughter went out when I was sleeping for work and weeded out around Every plant, then pruned the bottoms so nothing is touching the ground, super proud of her haha sounds dumb but at 11 she’s constantly in the garden, before I left yesterday I taught her the difference between determinate and indeterminate tomato plants, which to prune, and how to pull the suckers, I’ll probably let her control another new garden next season and see how she does on her own 😁
 
@Mikedin are you growing moslty from clones or seeds as well, i'm impressed with how your plant always have that much swollen calyx, i have had a few phenos looking like that once in a while but that's not my everyday looking phenos ?

Wife had some people over today while I was at work they went and checked out the garden, the wife hasent been in the garden for about a week, she actually called me at work and she can’t believe how good I have the garden going 🤣 I said you think all I do is go out there and smoke joints! No I smoke a LOT of joints and tie up a few tomato plants 😜🤣
