Metal arches for cherry tomatoes

14 years ago

Has anyone tried this? I saw a picture in a library book, of a metal arch with cherry tomatoes growing completely over it. It's a great idea, so I'm going to put two in a row, to form a "tunnel" with cherry tomatoes and pole beans. Any other fun ideas to get kids more involved in the vegetable garden?

They'll do best with some kind of mesh to climb on. I use concrete reinforcement mesh to make big tomato cages. You could use that with some further support to make the arch.
