Default propping up plants

I've had my fair share of broken branches on the tomato, pepper and
squash.

Not knowing what I'm doing, I've been taping a splint (usually a
small bit of branch) with masking tape after straightening the partial
break. That seemed to work for the tomato and squash and not for the
blueberry. Don't know yet on the pepper. Is there something more I
should be doing, or should this just be preventative maintenance? Not
that I've heard of pepper cages. My staking so far been on the what's
laying about the yard!
