Last week my photos of Fittleworth House in Sussex were those I took wandering round the large outdoors tomato patch. Today’s are of tomatoes growing underglass. The greenhouse is of traditional construction but recently built.
The tomatoes are in pots resting on the brick raised borders. Supported by canes, a purpose build A frame and string which twines round the plant from base to overhead strut. It’s not a method I’ve been in a position to try but I think the idea is that when the tomato plant is planted, the string is buried with it, then tied into the to overhead and adjusted and twined round the stem of the plant as it grows.
Whatever the method it worked, the plants looked healthy and productive.
