Very Nice, I am jealous you can actually plant in the ground.

This year is my last in even trying for tomatoes as the wilt is horrible here. Good growing.

That looks like some of that nice Texas red soil.8)
Just add some compost and watch it grow.

Nice tomaters!

I would dip the ends of the bamboo stakes in oil paint first. they will last much longer.

good idea.

I am adding rabbit manure (home grown from my pet rabbit) to the soil. I am storing it so that once I am ready for next year I can add it to the garden. I have been adding it to each seedling I plant.

This design will be more sturdy. Also you will not need to bury the sticks. The whole thing can just stand on the ground, giving you more height.

Hi, Warren, and a warm welcome to Tville!

Always nice to see more Texans find their way here.

Good looking plants. Did you go into the jungle and cut the bamboo yourself? Too, if your plants are indeterminates? you may have a hard time walking between the rows, but pictures are deceiving and the rows may be further apart than they look.

hahah, I made the same one this year. I wish I had free bamboo growing nearby! I hope your doggahs don't like ripe maters!

I decided that I wouldn't use bamboo next year. I will be buying t-post one by one for till next season. then I will buy rolls of chicken wire.
