Securing tomato plants

Hey Guys

How do you secure your tomato plants? I'm starting to wonder if maybe a fence post
at each end is the right way to go..

I thought my wife was being ridiculous when she told me she wanted those 8ft stakes
but now the plants are reaching the 8ft mark and the poles don't want to stay straight.

PS. Ignore the terrible lawn. I don't manicure the lawn around the garden as she throws
hay down around it.

I've got 6' T-post for each plant and then tie them off as they get taller. After a while they eventually outgrow the post and start heading back down.

Your plants look great!

What kind of tomatoes are you growing?

Shes got all sorts of heirlooms. Varieties I never knew existed. I think the main problem is the wind always blowing from one direction.
