Best of luck! I hope you'll need a ladder by late in the season

I do have one other question about the string trellis, however. If you plant a larger fruit variety or have heavy fruit clusters, does the string and clips solely support them, or do you add additional support of some kind? Admittedly a newbie question, but I'm curious about this method.

Thanks for your posts and replies!

Also Fonesca, your pics are making me hungry I grew a couple small yellow pear-shaped tomatoes a few years back when I had an in-ground garden, and I really liked them. I had a lot of trouble with mine splitting though.
