On Sunday I made Tomato Cages

 Sunday was an adventurous day! It's amazing what you can accomplish when you turn off the tv and resist the laptop ( as much as I resisted I was still drawn in once or twice).

I started with a 50 foot roll of fencing material then cut 5 foot long pieces to make cages 18 inches in diameter.  Instead of bending the ends to make hooks to hold them together I used electrical ties.  When I am done using the cages I can simply cut the electrical ties (I call them zip ties) and store the cages easier.

I snipped the ends off when I was finished.


Thanks to my amazing hubby, no one was seriously injured during this process. 

I have not installed the cages in the garden yet but I have a very good reason.  Florida may be hit by a hurricane this week but we won't know for sure for a few days.  I'm not all that worried but I'll be cautious for now.
