We've started using cattle panel for our tomato support and love it so much better than tomato cages!
Why and how we use grass clippings as a weed barrier.

Thank you so much for the t-shirt ribbon trick. Ive been gardening for 5 years and tried so many different clips, eventually settling on wool yarn - but that can be quite flimsy and has sometimes damaged my tomatoes. I will definitely be using tshirts next year. Thank you so much for your channel and sharing your knowledge and wonderful family. Thank you for inspiring me to get my children out into the garden and fresh air to help me with the garden chores this cold autumn in Belgium, when we would have otherwise cooped ourselves up in the warmth of the house.

Your garden is beautiful! I miss not having a garden , I have four raised beds . I seen a KZfaq video on suckering tomatoes , where they said to leave a little stump of the sucker then they don’t grow out again . So that’s what I did , I’m watching. We also used cattle panels this year . Your husband took the cake on wearing the clips 😂😂

I love that you do a lot of your garden work barefoot. But the kids should have ear protection for the pounding in of the posts. We just did ours, and it's so sharp! Excited to see how your tomatoes produce. What zone are you in? I'm close to London, Ontario but zone 6.
