Leaning tomato plant

[fixit7]

My tomato plant has gotten very tall and is above the tomato cage.

Is that ok?

Thanks.

As it grows taller it will bend and probably break if left alone. Just go to the hardware store and get one of those 1/2 inch fiberglass stakes about 6 feet long and tie the plant to it. They are usually a green color and look like a section of rebar.

Thanks for the idea.

I went with a 8 foot stake.
