One suggestion:

It's probably best to drive your stakes when you plant your tomato plants to prevent root damage once they've began growing good. Drive the stake into the ground 3 to 6 inches away from the tomato plant. Be sure to drive them far enough into the ground that they are stable and not wobbly. When blooms begin to appear on your tomato plants, loosely tie them to the stake, starting at the bottom of the main stalk. It doesn't matter what type of twine or tie you use, but a good suggestion is to use pieces of old pantyhose. They are soft, and they stretch without cutting into the plants. As your plant grows, add another tie, tying the plant higher up onto the stake.




Another suggestion:


Depending on the type of tomato plants you are planting and how large they will grow as to what type of staking you will want to use. For instance I have tomato plants that are 8 feet tall. I have used bamboo. You can wither stake them as stated above or you can make a type of trellis for the plants to grow against. You can also use wire Fencing that is 5 to 6 feet high and put around the perimeter of plants. The wire holes need to be large enough to pick your ripe tomatoes. Hope that helps. ( Most of the time individuals that grow bamboo are always happy to let someone cut and harvest due to its quickness in growing very tall in one season, about 15ft or more).

How do you keep top of tomato plants from sagging?

Most tomato plants need to be surrounded by support stakes or manufactured support "baskets" available at Home Depot, WalMart, etc.... If you can't find these, use my grandfather's method: Insert 1" x 1" stakes in the ground around the plant about 3' high, then tie strings around these stakes about every 6". Gently rest the limbs of the tomato plant onto the strings for support.
