String, Tomatoes and More String

It has been a hot one today, not the kind of weather for hanging around in poly tunnels but sometimes a job just has to be done. The tomato plants have got a hold on life now they have been in a week or so and they have really got growing, so it’s time to string them up and give them some support.

Not having ‘crop bars’ in this adapted poly tunnel has called for some inventiveness but I think we have come up with a workable solution. It involves rope, lots of string and lots of knot tying.

I’m really looking forward to when they start cropping.
