I run a heavy duty clothes line wire down the top of the greenhouse and tie the tomatoes up on strings up to that clothes line.
I grow Single Stem tomato plants. Each plant is trimed to only one stem. It's better control of the vines and all the tomatoes on that one vine are more uniform in size.
So---- Example:::::Where as some folks would grow one tomato plant with 15 vines on one plant and have many differant sizes and it looks like a spider web, I grow 15 individual single vined tomato plants neatly in a row 6 inches apart for plenty of light and air---a double row---- and tomatoes are mostly one size all the way up the vine. Also you have to trim the blossom buds to the same amount per cluster to get most of the tomatoes the same size.
Varieties are:::::::::Big Beef (#1) Better Boy, Pink Brandywine, Beefmaster, Sweet Million Cherry in that greenhouse.
Picture three days after last one------sorry , its kinda dark, end of the day.
