Thank you !!!!!!!!!!! I love Cherokee Purple
Glad to see another Cherokee Purple fan!

I use the tallest and heavies gauge tomato cages I can find (I wish someone
made them from rebar!) and then place two or three tall stakes inside of
this so that the plants don't pull the cage over when mature. Also don't be
afraid to do some selected pruning of the plants.

om...
Second year tomatoes gardner and wanting to avoid last year
mistakes... I'm going to plant 6 tomatoes plants in my raised bed,
last year I used stakes and it was a disaster, plants grew 6 feet and
up stakes weren't enough to support the branch so this year I want to
first of all do some buds snipping then have cages instead of stakes,
here my question what kind of wire (what size and height) should I
use? Is concrete reinforcing wire the way to go?
Thanks
