An arrangement of tomato plants in garbage barrels with plenty of soil alongside a house in New Jersey. The barrels provide stability for the wire concentric ring supports; further, they help keep the tomato plants off the ground, making it harder for chipmunks and squirrels to eat the fruit when they appear. A drip hose extends along the line of barrels. Tomato plants need lots of sun, but they can perish during a heat spell, when temperatures are above 90F for extended periods; if this happens, plants should be covered with plastic to keep moisture in, and watered frequently. This area of Summit New Jersey does not have many deer.
