 My Husband built me an elaborate tomato trellis, complete with built-in sprinklers! He was building the trellis with PVC piping, a great inexpensive material, and he thought to himself, why not add water?
I hope this works out, the idea is we are going to force the tomatoes on to the grid of the piping, and hopefully be able to gather the fruits from underneath.
This raises the most important question of our generation, 'why can we send a man to the moon but not build an tomato cage that works?'. Hahahaha!
So here are my little plants all ready to grow. Soon they will be monsters and I will wonder, 'why did I ever think they were small?'

This year i planted Brandywine, Roma, Viva Italia (a type of Roma), and two experiments, Sweet Million, a cherry tomato, and Moscow, a variety that I keep seeing in the nursery.

By the way, can you see my honeysuckle in the background? Its a beautiful variety called Pink Lemonade, the blossoms are yellow and pink. Its so beautiful and it smells divine!
