I grow tomatoes and other vining crops vertically, using T-Frames, pipe, and bailing twine strings. I put PVC arches and cover with plastic in late September. for about $100 one-time investment we are able to extend the growing season of about 80 tomato plants with just a little heat during freezing weather. this lets me continue to grow and harvest fresh tomatoes at least into November, and sometimes even December!

Beyond that, by covering it in the spring, I am able to transplant tomatoes into the garden a month or so earlier - thus extending the harvest season on both ends!
