    Your favorite way to stake tomatoes?

    SWEET! :lol: My mother happens to be in the funeral business. Has been so for a long time. I certainly have access to those. Too funny. Hey, nothing wrong with recycling...OaklandCityFarmer, I would ask your local cemetery. Chances are these things just go to the dumpster once the flowers...
