This Week In the Garden
Tying up Tomato Plants

This week in the garden UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper shows how to tie up a tomato plant. Tomatoes are very susceptible to blights which live in the soil. Tying up the plant with a soft piece of cloth gets the leaves and fruits off the ground, makes the plant easier to take care of, and reduces blight.
