I have several caged indeterminate tomato plants growing in my garden. The
cages are all about 5 feet high and one of the plants has already managed
to
grow past the top of its cage. I live in the Atlanta area and given that
it's
only May, I can assume that I can expect the plants to grow much larger.

Can anyone give me some advise as to what to do with these plants as they
outgrow their cages?

Lash together three 10' poles into a teepee and set it over the cages. Tie
the vine to the poles with fabric strips cut from old socks. I do it every
year in VA and it works quite well.

At someones suggestion last year I used old panty hose. Worked just
fine.
