This weekend I built a new trellis for the tomatoes!

Constructed from 4 2x4s and a piece of ladder mesh truss, this is arguably the only structure on the entire property that is actually plumb and level.

The back row has 10 plants and the front row has six, all different indeterminate varieties. I am pruning them as a single vine up a string. Each one has its own string and hook so that when the plant reaches the top I could let out some string and let them keep growing!

Thanks to @nextlevelgardening for the strings and hooks and great videos explaining how! This is my first time growing tomatoes this way and I’m excited about how big they might get.
