I have occasioally seen people use "little" hole fence before for cages. How do you get the tomatoes out?

It will be like the monkey with his hand stuck between the bars, when he refuses to let go of the apple. :lol:

I would suggest wire cutters. Remove some of the verticals to make access holes.

Your tomatoes look GREAT

picked my first 2 tomatoes today. They are green & trying to split open on top. Thought I had better let them ripen in the window.

Man, mine are barely the size of pebbles :shock:. Oh well, at least I have these picture to hold me over for now.

By the way, how tall are your plants?

Those look great!! Any problems with blight etc. I have become a big fan of the Better Boy, they seem hearty and produce some great fruit.

I had the small hole wire once and cut some holes for access. Watch out for those sharp wires.
