After years of experimenting with different layouts, we’ve settled on a ‘U’ or horseshoe arrangement for our cage plants. You can reach each plant from all angles and it’s very kid-friendly. Our kids love hanging inside the U. We use 6″ grid cattle panel welded wire fencing for all our cages and plant eggplants and peppers along with the tomatoes. It’s too late in Central Texas to get the Spring/Summer plantings in the ground but lucky for us, we have two growing season! Fall planting for tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers start in mid-July.
