buildStuff: A Tomato Gallows

Every year I try to grow tomatoes, and every year I think "this is stupid, a waste of time, money, and water" because my garden plot is likely on top of a cursed burial ground or some other Amityville Horror crap, and I only get a small bit of produce out of it.

This year I tried something different.  I built a tomato gallows!  Ok, so the Internet doesn't call it a gallows, it's a trellis, but as I was putting the strings on the plants themselves, I realized I was basically tying nooses for the plants.   But that's beside the point.  

I'm posting this to tell ya, yeah, this method works to grow some amazing tomatoes on some pretty big plants.  Now, when I started these from seeds, my dumb ass lost track of which plants were which, so the cherry tomatoes are mixed in with the beefsteak tomatoes, but hey, live and learn. 

Since this thing is built just at the end of my deck, harvesting from the top is easy as can be; I'm already two feet up when standing on the deck.   

I used some plans from the Internet to get started, but the dude who designed the original clearly doesn't live in a place as windy as Draper, so it needed some help.   it was also hot AF outside so my "attention to detail" was set aside and a "get it finished" mindset kicked in.  That's why it kinda looks janky.   I aint perfect, and neither is the stuff I build. :)
