Pulling up stakes


Bamboo stakes headed back to storage

I've tried several different methods of supporting tomato plants through the years. In the end, I found that the old reliable bamboo stake is the best way to support these vines. It makes it easy to tie them up, prune them and keep space between the plants.

At the end of the season, it's time to pull out those bamboo stakes and put them away. After a summer of tying them up, this can be a tricky job. Especially when you have several hundred to take out. All but a couple were fine and are now safely stored until next spring.
