tomato/trellis clips
First, a question: are all trellis/tomato clips the same (I've seen wildly different prices online), and is there a recommended place to get them?
So I went to Brad Gates's talk on tomatoes last year at the heirloom festival. He showed photos of container tomatoes he was growing at his house: big pots with four tomatoes each. I decided to try that. This is my experiment: I have a big south-facing window that could use some shade, so my 7 big pots (15g) are lined up outside that window. I have short tomato cages in the pots and will be running twine from the cages up to screw eyes in the overhang. I will prune to 1-2 stems and then attach the vines to the twine with tomato clips. I'm growing mostly cherry tomatoes in these pots, 15 varieties. |
