Prepping Tomatoes for a Tropical Storm

hasshoes · August 27, 2009

I should have given up a while ago, but I'm a glutton for punishment.

So I have plants that are leaning because the jute trellising has stretched and because they weren't initially growing upright due to late tying.

If they won't break by untying, might they fare better against 75 mph winds on the ground?

I'm also worrying too about polls snapping and breaking main stems.

Thanks,
Heather (who needs her head examined
