The Heirloom Orchardist "A convenient, simple, and economical support may be made of narrow hoops..." (The Annual Register of Rural Affairs, 1866). Ha! Thanks, but my tomatoes don't look anything like that...

My best tomato plant is a volunteer that came up from the compost used when transplanting a large Lilac this spring. I using the Lilac for support! It looks like a plum tomato. It's doing better than the ones I planted deliberately.
