But back to trellising....one of the best sites I have seen that identifies to pros and cons and relative costs to a variety of trellising system is one done by the Santa Clara County Master Gardeners. They have tried a number of trellising systems over the years at their demonstration garden. Their reviews will help you better select a trellising system that works for you. For details go to: http://www.mastergardeners.org/picks/tomato_staking.html
Share your tomato trellising stories by sharing us your comments on this blog. And Special Thanks to the Santa Clara County Master Gardeners for their great work!!!

This is my first year as a MG graduate. This is only my second year growing tomatoes. I purchase the plants and put them in their own huge planter. The indetermanent variety has the usual cage but is strengthened by putting two cages together. The plant is further supported by my 6'x10' metal gazebo without the shade cloth. I was concerned about the metal frame getting too hot so I covered it with foam outdoor pipe cover usually used to protect against frost.
