I have 2 Roma tomato plants and they are growing great. This is my first time to plant this variety, and the person at the nursery told me I do not have to trellis them.
Now they are very large and they do carry their own weight well, but the bottom leaves are all on the ground. I have been inspecting the leaves daily to make sure mold did not set in.
After the rains of this last week I have started to notice brown spots on the leaves touching the ground. I immediately pluck them off, but I want to set up a system to keep them elevated.
I was thinking maybe wooden stakes, and twine? Then I thought with steady wind twine could saw branches right off. Am I just being paranoid or are there better alternatives?
Thanks in advance!
