| Hi all, I've made myself some tomato cages, around 24 inches in diameter however i made some smaller and some bigger for easy storing away when all is done and I'm drowning in tasty tomatoes:) I'm growing a number of varieties this season and just wondering which ones would be better suited to the smaller or bigger cages? The varieties are: I can already tell from my seedlings that AR and GRS look like they are going to be very big plants. Thanks!

| IME Sweet 100 will be the biggest plant by far - in both height and diameter. Isis Candy next biggest. Never grown Green Grape. GRS will be next, then Mariana's and Earl followed by CP and Anna. Anna Russian is a wispy almost anemic looking plant. You don't mention the height of your cages or what they are made of. That will make a very big difference as will if you plan to do any pruning.

| Thanks Dave, they are about 6 foot but i will need to 'sink' them so 5 foot something when secured in place and are made from 2.5mm galvanized wire. I don't plan to prune, although i'll only plant 12- 15 so no trouble if i have to do a bit. Funny, the S100 and Isis Candy look quite small compared to some of the others but i guess its still early days......the AR is by far the tallest but as you alluded, looks quite pathetic! |
