Taming the Tomato Jungle

Earlier this month I finally got around to staking all the tomatoes (except the caged one). I am definitely learning that certain varieties, primarily the determinant ones, would be better caged. Oregon Spring variety loves to flop all over the ground, but is hardly two feet tall (but producing very well). On the other hand, my sungold is already past the top of the stake with no intentions of stopping. There are lots of green tomatoes now and I am starting to get impatient. I am more than ready to eat my first ever own-grown tomato!
