I really hoping this works. I hate seeing the plants on laying the ground because its so heavy.

Last year I planted them in a garden box and used twine. It helped but as the plants got real lush and tomatoes came on I found myself re-adjusting branches. Other branches were on their own and I had a few tomatoes on the dirt but WAY more in my kitchen to be canned.Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326463958951674762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958624867764832989.post-62926193253117648742011-07-24T13:23:07.446-04:002011-07-24T13:23:07.446-04:00Very nice!

One tip that is great for matching points: after you sew together a small section of your full block (like the center square or one row of triangles), trim/square up that small section to whatever size it should be. Even if you're only trimming off 1/8 inch, it helps when you sew all the sections together.BoPeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374713332198134834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958624867764832989.post-9887124763837029472011-07-21T21:29:23.616-04:002011-07-21T21:29:23.616-04:00WOW! you did a great job and it's pretty Krist...WOW! you did a great job and it's pretty Kristin.
