Staking tomatoes and green beans.
Last year I tied the tomato and green bean plants to the stakes with some bright orange plastic line I found in the garage. I like the contrast it made against the green plants. But my spouse asked sweetly if I could not use it because it was weed eater cord and it was kind of expensive. Oophs!
Cord or line I used to stake vegetable plants last year. Turns out it was weed eater line.
Time slipped by and the green beans grew much faster than I expected
after I added Scott’s gardening soil a few weeks ago to the existing soil. Because I had not
staked the beans, the vines grew around the tomatoes vines. A fine little
jumble I had gotten myself into. I went to Home Depot and purchased Velcro plant ties. I had never heard of it before but it looked like it would work. I worked as quickly as possible.

In my haste I didn’t read the instructions clearly printed on back of the
package. I tied the tape instead of wrapping it.

The correct way to use the velcro tape | It was much easier than tying string. |
