Tomato Netting Lessons

Got the netting over the tomato bed.  I need to do it earlier next year--some vines are already pushing into the net.

For next year (goal is to have the netting look like a christmas package wrap:

take down the posts used for pea netting
put up the uprights for the cage, leave room for the bottom horizontal to rest in the bed
tie the tomato cages to the uprights securely--do a better job than this year
put up the horizontals
put the netting over the top
stretch it out and secure it on top
do the ends and corners
do the bottom horizontal.

As of July 13 I harvested 3 tomatoes, one with bites out of it.  Plus a lot of glads.

The dahlias aren't doing well, although I cut 3 different blooms.  Lisa's gotten a lot of beans for the few plants we have, the eggplants look to be doing well.
