Was grilling last night and in-between burger turns, i did a walk around of my tomato plants. I found the 9.06 ribbon vine folded over with the fruit drooping. Talk about buzz kill. Looks like I waited a bit too long to give it support. The fruit is so high on the plant i had nowhere to hang a hammock, had planned on solving it Monday. Today, this is my solution... pvc & wide ace bandage. Truth be told, I've had very low expectations with this fruit. Although the ribbon stem is crazy wide, it's quite thin. I don't feel there's enough stem to support the 10+ fruits. Nonetheless, will try to take this one to redness & get seeds as the characteristic has massive promise.
