We should be neighbors. I bet we could agree on what to grow on our fences.

So, anyway. Here's how you grow tomatoes (or any vegetable that enjoys sprawling) 10 feet from God's green earth.

This is one of the landings on the back deck.

Here you see both landings with tomatoes dangling over. They get the benefits of breeze, no bugs except flying ones to pollinate them - including dragonflies! - and 8 hours of Western sun. All of these varieties being Indeterminate, they will grow to the ground and spread out if I can water them enough.

Only hazard is the mosquitoes I'm growing at ground level with all the water dripping thru the deck.
