If you\u2019ve ever grown indeterminate tomatoes, then you know they can get heavy and need some support. We\u2019ve personally tried several different methods to support our tomato plants: traditional wire cage, horizontal Flordia weave using strings, and plenty love and encouragement. You got this tomatoes! But we\u2019ve found that the best way to support them for us is with vertical lines to an overhead beam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tried this method last year and it worked really well, but it also came with a few issues. Namely, we didn\u2019t make the beams tall enough or strong enough. Did we mention how heavy the tomato plants can get? So this time, not only did we build a new overhead beam, we OVER<\/strong>-built this beam. It\u2019s so strong that our toddler can (and will, if we\u2019re being honest\u2026) use this as a jungle gym!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
