Very cool! For the record, I bought the cages – lots of them – and they don't even work that good. My tomatoes in my square foot garden are almost six feet tall (and sucking the sun away from everything else struggling around them) and many have outgrown the cages. Live and learn. Your way is MUCH better! Next year, I'm making a lot of changes – and better tomato trellises are definitely one of them!…

We are learning so much this year, too! Like, pick peas as they are ready don’t wait to the end of the season, keep track of where you plant the beets, don’t let the chickens have free run of the tomatoes, don’t assume that soaking broccoli overnight will get the worms out (*shudder* that was a tough lesson!). Awesome that your tomatoes are doing so well that they’re outgrowing the cages, though
