I’ve been looking around online for information about trellis, stakes, and cages for my tomato, cucumber, pepper, and garden bean plants. I’m getting some complex information and I just need basic beginner ideas. My plants are inside, but I want to put them out this weekend in my raised beds. I’m in zone 5. I’m [...]
