Hi there! Everything is look great.

Question: Do you stake your sunflowers at all? I noticed in a picture of yours that the sunflower head is facing the ground and curved.

Keep up the wonderful work!

Love the small tomatoes. What name do they go under? Also, what exactly is the green trellis you have them growing on and does it come in a roll?
Can't get enough of your garden. I live in the United States, very south in Louisiana.

Sunflowers are not staked. The seed heads always point down in the later state of growing.

The small tomatoes are called Grape tomatoes. I bought the plant from a supplier. The cultivar is probably
Grape Tomato #6721.

The trellis is concrete reinforcing wire, which comes in 4' by 8' sheets, and is easy to handle. It is supported with plastic ties, utilizing fence railings 10' tall. I paint the sheets on a plastic sheet using a brush with Tremclad (green).
