I’ve strung up my tomatoes for years. Super easy and I don’t have to mess with cages which are expensive and too small. If I do let a sucker branch, I just add another string. Doesn’t seem like it would support the weight but it does. So much easier than staking and tying.
Yes it’s amazing how well they grow on stings! The only issue I’ve had is when the strings rot mid season. Last year I used paracord and it held the whole season. Let me know if you’ve found something that works better and lasts 🌱
@@AdventuresinGardening paracord is ok,I use flax or jute cord,or the blue synthetic used for packaging. They are cheap or for free,and last many years.
I grow plenty of indeterminate tomatoes in containers. Best to just make a large cage using welded fencing or similar. My cages are 5 and 6 feet tall and basically wrap around my 20 gallon pots. I still put a single stake in the center of the pot, but it isn't really necessary. My dwarf tomatoes are in 5 gallon container with a single stake. The Dwarf Tomato Project has produced 100+ different tomatoes that only grow to about 4' and produce all sizes and types of tomatoes.

This is a great video! Second video of yours that I watched. Found you when I searched for Baker Creek seeds. Watched your video explaining your seed order from them. Important to me are your comments on WHY you like certain varieties. Your tomatoes seedlings are so healthy and BIG. Would purchase for sure but I live in northern Illinois. Excellent explanation on how to use the string method. Thank you for sharing. Side note. What is that tiny blue flowered plant behind you? Is it Chinese forget-me-not?
Thanks for watching! I actually did some shipping last year and am open to it…our website will be ready for the season soon. The plant with the blue flowers is the culinary sage. They have been established for years and are very woody like shrubs. Thanks!

@@AdventuresinGardening I use jute. It's always lasted longer than the tomatoes. And I live in hot and humid Austin TX

Agree with the cages. I use concrete remesh to make my cages, It's a little costly up front but I have some cages that my dad made 20-30 years ago.

Great video! How old were your tomatoes in this video? They looked very healthy.
