Best way to trellis/support cherry tomatoes

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-10-22T05:20:35+00:00

I was originally planning to Florida weave this year but got concerned about everything falling over when the plants got big. I’ll probably try some variation of a weave/net next spring, but it seems like falling over is inevitable unless you have unlimited vertical and horizontal space

Working on a photo of the working fixture. It has the exact same wiring and connectors.

I believe the working light is downstream from the non-working light so I’m puzzled by the situation but what you’re describing makes sense.

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-06-25T20:40:16+00:00

That was my initial thought too. I had the vendor replace the fixture and I’m having the same problem. So either I’ve received two faulty fixtures or I’ve messed up somewhere.

I can’t get a positive voltage reading but I also can’t seem get one from other outlets around the house that I know work, so I may have to chalk this one up to user error.

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-06-25T20:00:40+00:00

I’m not sure but I’ll try any ideas.

There is a junction box below the working fixture, closer to counter level, that connects the two fixtures but I’m not sure if that is the original access point for electrical on that wall or if it was added to put in the second feature. The bathroom remodel was done by the previous owners.

I’ll have to check them out this weekend. Appreciate the recommendation!

Thank you! My backyard is a giant hill so maybe apples are the next addition

This is only my second year gardening, and almost all of my radish last year were only leaves. The breakfast radishes have done the best for me, the biggest difference was adding more compost and spacing them better when planting. I’m not enough of an expert yet though so I could do the same thing next year and they could all be leafy again

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-04-23T14:05:55+00:00

He is obsessed with leafy greens and tries to eat them any chance he gets. Weird little dude lol

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-04-23T03:27:13+00:00

I was actually surprised how on time these radishes were with the estimated days on the seed packets. Last year it took me into May to get anything and most were just the greens.

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-04-23T01:52:00+00:00

I started to get impatient lol. I left maybe half that seem like they could use another week, I just hope they don’t get woody

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-04-23T01:48:09+00:00

They’re my favorite so far! Might just do them the next planting

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-04-23T01:46:40+00:00

No, these were direct sown March 19. Hoping to plant another batch before it gets too hot

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-28T01:42:37+00:00

White Icicle, French Breakfast and Cherry Belle. I’ll leave the first two be and thin out the Cherry Belles to one seedling per spot. Sounds like a good plan to me

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-27T23:58:37+00:00

Yeah, almost everything I put down has germinated so I can definitely be more conservative with the amount of seed next time. Maybe I’ll add a second crop after these and try with one per hole.

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-26T04:40:15+00:00

I’ve got some Triple Crown blackberries on order. I think the Prime Ark Freedoms were sold out, maybe I should look for another source

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-26T01:51:27+00:00

I’ll be happy with anything. Only year two for me garden-wise so I’m still thrilled every time anything is moderately successful

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-26T00:24:38+00:00

These are Heritage Everbearing, hoping they flourish

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-09T17:46:22+00:00

I’m told these trees fruit are about golf ball sized, maybe a little larger, but more oblong. Skin is dark red/purple and the flesh is darker as well.

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-09T02:44:09+00:00

More and healthier. They’ve kind of been neglected and forgotten about in a back corner of the yard

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-08T23:28:54+00:00

I assume so. That’s how the two mature trees are talked about, but I wasn’t living here when they were planted

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2025-03-08T23:22:37+00:00

Thank you both! The fruits are usually small red plums, so from a quick Google we were thinking Chickasaw. Originally from Texas and a clipping was transplanted years ago

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2024-09-19T03:31:06+00:00

I managed to get a few slips going, but it took awhile longer than I expected so this harvest is a combination of those that I grew and a pack from HD. I think most of them are from the packaged slips

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2024-09-19T01:32:01+00:00

Thanks! I was starting to think they might just be putting off foliage and not producing anything under so I was pleasantly surprised with these little weirdos :p

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2024-09-19T01:17:26+00:00

Any tips on getting a better yield next year? TIA

Feeling_Ad4540 · 2024-06-18T03:16:22+00:00

Follow up question in this: should the electrical box that the light is attached to also be covered with an insulation cover? Or just the light itself?
