Hi! I occassionally lurk here, but haven't posted in a long, longtime. My name is Irene, and I garden in Zone 5 (far northern Illinois)Anyhow, I have a couple of questions:Has anyone tried Burpee's Tomato Towers? They look like they'd be nice& space-saving if they work, and very annoying if they don't. Or, doyou have a preferred staking method for indeterminate tomatoes?Do mini pumpkins result in smaller plants, as well? I've donenormal-sized ones before, and am considering doing Wee Be Little thisyear (per request of the 3 year old). I'm considering using a so-farnot planted section of the garden about 2' wide by 15' long, sloping,next to the house.Irene
