It's seems like I've been getting a late start on everything I do, lately. That includes getting my garden in. I'm still chasing things I need to do out there, but at least the plants have been pretty forgiving. My tomatoes are behind those of the more timely gardeners around here, but these plants are trying really hard to catch up. I'm really digging these tomato hooks for trellising. Now that I'm getting a feel for it, I can envision some modifications this Fall when the tomatoes are done. I can see a use for this kind of system with cannabis. Maybe similar to what
@Bandit420 does with his yoyos or even just to support a stray bud late in flower.
The cucumbers have gone through their own little growth explosion, but the deer are eating the leaves almost as soon as they develop. I've had some random deer damage in past years, but they're getting bolder. I think my dogs are getting lazy. So, I've got some work to do there. T-posts and an electric fence might be the easy button.
I made and installed two of the four cages I need around the weed. The cages are made out of 16ft. X 50in. cattle panels. I got two per panel. I grew the plants through regular tomato cages, first. I'm adding these for extra support. I took some damage from heavy storms during flower last year, due to not providing enough support and ended up trying to patch in some structure too late. I'm hoping to avoid as much of that as possible, this year.
Happy growing, everyone.
