  • Are those cages bought like that or did you make them? Also how big on average do your tomato plants get with cages like these??

  • @SocalDNM ... I make all my cages now with 5 ft. concrete reinforcement wire. The height of the plant depends on the variety which can range from a few feet to over 10 ft. tall......Donald

  • That looks like a very well kept farm/garden you have there! :) Do you grow all of your own food? If you do, how big is your farm area? Just wondering what sort of size of farm you'd need to be realistically self-subsistence. Love your accent! :)

  • @aquariussal ... Each family is different but with the right planning a person could easily grow all the vegetables needed for a family in an area ½ - 1 acre (probably less depending on row spacing) and have lots of extra to give to family and friends. Canning is a big part of that. Even if you don’t grow everything you need, you can make a huge dent in the food bill. What accent? LOL…..Donald

  • What is the diameter of the tomato cages you use and how do you keep the main tomato stem growing straight in the cage??

  • @crdennis123 ...The cages I'm using now (concrete wire) are about 22 inches across. For the most part the stems will grow straight up, some branches will have to be pushed back in the cage......Donald

    Do you do all the work yourself--or do you have help?
