About once a week I go around and pull the stems back into the trellis netting in the cages:
I trim some of the branches that extend outside the cages to keep focus on vertical growth.
My first Early Girl is now blushing:
I'm just down Winchester from you in Los Gatos, at Hacienda. Really like the copper foil bands you installed to keep away the snails. Great idea!
I would also recommend you cover your black plastic mulch with the microbark as in my post above. Our hot Sun will dry out the roots otherwise.
