Default Do these tomatillos look right?

I use stakes and twine to build a pen, 30 inches square for one, or that wide and down the row for a bunch. The branches like to be horizontal, and grow long, so one of those large, cone shaped tomato cages just doesn’t work. I just tie the twine at one stake about eight inches to a foot high, string to the next stake and spin the twine around it, and keep going until I’ve gone around the space, then twirl up the first stake a foot or so, and repeat to the top of the posts. Quick, easy, and cheap, and plenty of support for tomatillos. Actually I do a similar thing for determinate and dwarf tomatoes, but more like twenty inches wide or less.
