Tomato Trellising Twist

The way our Sun Gold tomatoes are growing lately, they’ll soon reach the ceiling of the hoophouse! With warmer temperatures and lots of sunshine lately, the Sun Golds are loving their protected home inside the tunnel. To keep up with the plants’ growth spurt, we pounded in eight foot T-posts every eight feet on both sides of the four foot bed. Then we strung twine around the posts and criss-crossed between every set of four. We’ll add additional levels of twine as the tomatoes grow and begin to crank out our favorite little cherries.
