Cattle panels - I haven’t tried this but my vet swears by it he is quite the gardener and homesteader. He plants his tomatoes all in a row and instead of stakes or cages he has a cattle panel anchored behind the row and leaning at about 60 degrees. The tomatoes vine up the panel and need no tying. The tomatoes hang through the panel holes and you can just go under the panel and down the row picking the tomatoes without damaging the vines. Sounds like a neatest up.

I likes me some cattle panels. Build a greenhouse, grow veggies. Today I planted some tomatoes against one.

It sounds like the best of vertical gardening, and easy homesteading .
The heavier fruits will hang down as they mature, and are easily found .
Good idea !
