@thisisme, I have to build my tomato cage like yours. Except I paint them green, they last longer. I no longer buy cages at the garden center. They are not sturdy enough for me.
But my tomato plants are out. I killed the last batch of plants I got from the nursery because of unpredictable weather. One cucumber and two zucchini plants. One died and the other two plants were just stunned. No growth.
