The garden is planted. (Tomatoes are 3-4 feet tall already)

2. I purchased the tomato towers.

I have been buying sets of cages from Gardeners Supply Company for about 5 years, So I have quite a few. None have ever rusted out on me. The green towers are the Extra tall Tomato towers and the red ones are another tomato tower that I decided to try. I also use some of the spare towers for pole beans and Lima beans, but that garden, a 6x8 plot, is not in the photos. That out of photo garden also has bush beans.

In the photos I have tomatoes, sunflowers, onions, lettuce, broccoli, peas, squash and zucchini, and peppers.

Part of the reason I went with towers versus staking is I grow Heirlooms that are indeterminate. They can get very vine like by late summer. I usually dead head them at 6 feet high and let them bush out.
