Ok, I built some really nice 'mater cages last year out of concrete wire. We got rain last year, lots and lots of rain. We got so much rain the ducks were wearing life-preservers. We got a lot of rain.
Those wonderful tomato heirlooms made some wonderful plants growing past the top of the 5' tall cages. And...all the tomatoes rotted.<sigh>
Well, this year I'm trying it again but mostly going with hybrids. Maybe it was the soggy summer, maybe I wasn't holding my lips just right, maybe... I'm trying to get things stacked in my favor this year, thus mostly hybrids with noted disease resistance.
But, I'm curious about the tomato cages. They've been laying out beside the garden this winter just kinda bidin' their time. I mean, really, what can tomato cages do to pass the time during the winter other than just lay there? It's not like they can play canasta or something...at least I don't think they can.
. Anyhow, I'm wondering if I should clorox them or something to kill any lingering bacteria or viri?
So, to clorox or not clorox, that is the question...
