I think I just realized that my tomatoes are going to overgrow my "florida weave." The posts you see in the pictures are only like 5 feet tall, and I just read where brandywine and early girls can reach 9 feet tall. I guess I'm fine with the rutgers, but I may have a mess soon.

Crazy...I was JUST thinking the same thing this morning on my way to work!
First year I've tried the floridia weave (didn't know that's what it was called...saw some commercial growers using the method) and a couple of my maters (forget the name) are already at the top of the 5' post. I think I'll let it out grow the post a little bit then start pinching the growth tips.
I guess it's better to have tomatoes too big then ones that don't grow at all!
