6-5-08

As mentioned earlier, we've had nasty ultra windy weather.

And my tomatoes have the habit of pulling their cages out of the ground. Since I really, really, really didn't want to lose the Lemon Boy to the wind, I decided to get up early on Thursday the 5th and go out and engineer a better tomato cage.

I ended up just using a left over tree spike (the things you put by the trees to keep them growing straight) and stuck it in the ground near the tomato plant, then went and got some twine and tied the tomato to the spike. I also put a rock next to the spike to help make sure it stayed in place until the dirt compacts more.
