new cheap tomato support

charline · September 25, 2015

this is a very cheap and very beautiful tomato support
and it wasnt my idea, the tomato and her friend the ipomea did it themselves

I hope you can see the ipomea holding the tomato vines up

and then came the spider to help!

this picture was from the time the ipomea was still flowering, the variety is called carneval

Wonderful pictures Charline but you aren't going to convince those who hate spiders, as many do, to make them convert to web growing.

Is it your plan to make the spiders weave their webs in the future to help support your tomato plants, I mean do it when you tell them where and when to do it?

I for one love the spider web.

Some years ago, a spider built a web in my Opalka plant. It lasted a while, and every time I picked tomatoes, I avoided disturbing the web. It was the perfect plant for a spider web!

I don't mind spider web either, unless they are woven in my pathways.
They are very artistic I am fascinated as how they do it. And they trap a lot of insects (mosquito , flies ..)

That is an excellent web.

I've got morning glories trying to get into some of my trellises. I guess I should let them.
