Wild & Crazy Tomato Plant [View all]

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Is this guy nuts or what?!

This year I decided to put a tomato plant in front of my house. I have many others in my garden in my raised beds. I even have more tomato plants growing in pots, but this is the plant that is growing like crazy.

You can't see it, but it is growing on a cast iron tuteur.



Just one, though.

Here's a container of pole beans growing next to it. Looks like I'm going to have to pick them using a ladder!

The leaves are so big that they dwarf an outstretched hand. There would be more vines, but the groundhog came along and ate them.

With the tomatoes, I have to encase them in plastic net bags because I know he'll eat them.

p.s. I also grew the bamboo poles the beans are climbing.
