I would love to use cages, but here they would have to be 8 ft. tall and I'm
not sure I want to store 20--8ft tall cages made out of rebar all winter
long. The only tomatos we have that were around 4 ft. tall are the Romas.

I use cages made from concrete reinforcing wire panels, they stand
about 4 feet tall. The openings in the cage is big enough to sneak
hands in, fruit out. No tying required, just tuck the odd branch back
into the cage. Makes a great mini-greenhouse for early starts. I have
mine wired up as cages, so need room for storage. Could store these
guys flat though.

Plants are pouring out the top by mid-season, and I don't have to worry
about taking care of them.. as long as the cage is secured to not tip
over!
