It's probably freaking out passersby, but I have some 10' rebar pounded about
two feet into the ground for tomatoes. (A farm jack makes pulling them out
pretty pain-free.) Last year I grew some cherry tomatoes that kept growing
well past my 5' rebar sticking 4' out of the ground. Eventually they flopped
over into the middle, making them much harder to pick and exposing them to
soil-based disease, so this year we'll see what happens with a much higher
trellising system.

Not that I'm recommending anyone else go to this much trouble...

Blessings,

Remember when sizing that heirloom tomatoes are going to be pretty tall.
