The plant on the left is 9' tall. The top of the conduit is also 9'.
I put extensions on the left two poles/plants.
No more tomatoe worms[:p]but now the mice are climbing the plants and eating dime sized holes in the tomatoes as they get ripe.[:(!][:(!]Can't reeally blame them the tomatoes are really goooood[:p][:p]
Put half dozen traps at the base of the plants to solve that problem.
Here's a couple tomatoes by a 6" cresent wrench.

Holy tomatoes! What's your secret?
Feenix, no secret. I just till in humus tie them up to 10' conduit poles with extensions. Plenty of water and fondle I mean TLC for the plants. My friends ask if I use miracle grow and no I don't. They ask why not? I say they get 10' -14' tall I don't want them any taller.[:p][:)][8D][:0] Oh and keeping those pesky tomatoe worms off them helps too.[;)]

Excellent job. Thanks for sharing.
