Possible Tomato staking for indeterminate varieties. Use paracord suspended from metal 3/4 electrical conduit cross pieces. I use a 5' fence stake at the ends and attach 3/4 " uprights with a plastic pipe "Tee" at the top. I take them down at year end and store them from year to year. I wrap the hanging paracord around the tomato leader and clip it at the top.

(Thorburns Terracotta Tomatos suspended with paracord.) Yes, I painted the conduit blue. They are pushed down in the ground, but I need to go secure the uprights to the green Fence posts. I secure the paracord at the base of the tomato with a stake, I leave about 30" of extra paracord hanging over crossbar, wrap it around twice, and use a taut line hitch so I can adjust the slack as I wrap around the tomato leader.

(Also note the irrigation. I got tired of spending 2 hours standing in the sun watering and decided to use timed irrigation so I could do other things.)
