Unfortunately just made it out to see the plot post-Irene to find a few of the plants had been knocked over. I was able to come up with some temporary props with tomato stakes and twine. The plants have really started to put on some weight though. Here is the rub: How the hell do you stake up a 9 footer? I'm assuming the cola is going to be massive and will droop severely. Do you let them droop? Do I go cut a 9 foot piece of timber in the woods? Any product sold at Home Depot/Lowes that works?
Guess this is another reason people top their plants.
