Tomato Wall Update 1. We installed a tomato wall for the first time and so far it appears to be doing well. We have spent a little time with two main activities. First; training the vines through the wire mesh which is 6″ X 6″, weaving them back and forth vertically. Second we have trimmed some excessive plant growth at the base of the tomato plants and some of the extra suckers that are creating foliage that is too dense. We are limiting the lush foliage density to enhance air flow and prevent foliage diseases. We have some fruit set and more is currently setting. We are currently limiting fertilizer to encourage fruit set and limit excessive vegetative growth. We anticipate horizontal vine training soon as our vines have reached the top of the wire mesh. We hope to keep producing tomatoes for another 2-3 months.
