Our Yellow Pear Tomato has been planted in the sheep watering tank that sits inside our old dog kennel.
Far Guy has various forms of anchoring in place....cages, wires and fence posts. This year the sheep tank sits on cement blocks. Perhaps I can forego the ladder this year when picking the tomatoes.
It is a nice spot up against Tilly's garage, a little protected from the winds and the kennel should keep out deer...maybe.

Our enemy are the birds pecking the fruit...it falls, almost whole then ruins.
ReplyDeleteI should get netting...

The deer are always a problem here. Hope you get to enjoy tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteThat is a clever way to grow some tomatoes. My ONE tomato plant is thriving so far in a big pot on my back deck. There are 6 little tomatoes on it right now. Keeping it up on the deck is how I keep anything safe from the deer. LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope it works. The rabbits have been eating the gardens here at the condo. One lady put up a fence and Dennis watched the bunnies go right through the fence holes. They need to run nets or something to keep them out of the beautiful tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteBlessings.

I am so behind this year. I just bought plants yesterday. I hope we have a nice autumn. Hopefully ladders will not be needed.
ReplyDeleteI would hope that would keep the deer out. Not much landing room for them. Fingers crossed! :)
ReplyDeleteDeer love tomatoes- even green ones, as I found out to my dismay a few years ago. That fence should keep them out.
ReplyDeleteWhen my friend's daughter lived with her, she had a large kennel for her dog. When she moved out of state, she took the dog but not the kennel. It took a year, but my friend decided it was a great place for her garden and it did help keep critters out.
ReplyDeleteI hope it works...sometimes the raccoons get mine :(
ReplyDeletelooks like the perfect place to grow some great tasting tomatoes. Can't be a home grown fresh tomato.
ReplyDeleteThe deer should be reluctant to jump into such a small area. Hopefully.
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of deer being a problem with plants, just shows how little I know about stuff
ReplyDeleteSo far the deer don't come in my back yard. However , one of these days one of them will get curious and investigate.
ReplyDeleteTom announced that his tomatoes, which he raised from seed, are now tall enough to need tying up.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your precious plant.
If the deer were starving they would scale the fence but just maybe there is a lot of other foliage out there to eat. I haven't seen a volunteer pear tomatoes showing up this season.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great setup. Watch a couple who garden in rural Alaska and you won't believe the fence they had to build to keep out the deer and the moose! It's like 8 feet tall.
