Post your tomatoes

My Celebrity :D
I really need to rotate it, since it's on my balcony it's all growing to one side.
I've been growing this one since it was just a few inches tall. I've been watering it off in on from the waste out of my DWC

Well when I go to home depot I see some tomato cages that are as thick as rebar. I always thought who the heck needs a cage that thick. but when I went outside this morning my 9' tall volunteer had just ripped/bent the 6' cage I built for it and the whole plant was lying on the ground. So propped it up and used so me large bamboo poles to help anchor it better. Only one side branch broke off.

I tried using the common tomato cages to when I first started growing tomatoes but the plants usually ripped them out of the ground, so I switched to staking them up.
 
What's up with some tomato training techs? This is my first year growing tomatos. Any links or anything would be appreciated in the mean time I'll hit up Google and see what i can find. I spots got some sweet corn, some palco hybrid spinach, giant ceaser lettuce, and burpless beauties cucumbers can't wait for all the fresh veggies

er...post your tomatoes [Saucy's, and 2x Unknowns] The big one is 3x3 and getting 4-5' already...not including the raised bed....Cages, they are small for one and find that plants regularly don't grow in a circle shape, without heavy pruning...not my style :leaf:

i've always used cages, but have been finding them a pita this year... they're all half falling over, and i have them jammed into the ground as far as they'll go.. plus, if you don't catch a branch growing in fast, it'll be hard as poo to move it so it's in the cage and being supported..
would like to find a new method for next year..
 
I'm having a hard time keeping the birds off my tomatoes and strawberries.....Does anyone have any ideas to keep'em away?
