| All neat and tidy now. |

| Twisty ties are lifesavers |
Overall, it really helped to bring some order to our tomato patch. Thank goodness! It was just getting a little wild. I would definitely recommend to get it in place while the tomatoes are still little, though, so it's easier to train them, as they grow up.

| We also bought some lavender on Saturday. We got it to help attract bees to the garden, but bonus! It's pretty, smells good, and seems to help clear Clint's allergy-induced stuffiness. Yay for lavender! |

That is so neat! There are some people in town that trellis their tomatoes. We might try that next year. Your garden looks great!
ReplyDeleteWe did something similar with our tomatoes this year. We put steaks around the outside of the area they're planted - but instead of just on the ends, we put a one in the middle on each side too, and then used kitchen twine to tie each post to the other, looping down and catching drooping limbs when necessary. As the plants have gotten taller, we have added another row of twine. I put small self drilling screws in at three heights on each steak so the twine couldn't silp down. So far it's working great.
ReplyDeleteYay for the lavender! And other pollinator attractors. And that tomato trellising looks like a pretty good idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great comments everyone! I love hearing from you all!!
