Has summer been too hot for your tomatoes? Don't have quite the green thumb you hoped for? Who knew slugs LOVED tomatoes? It's okay, I'm here to help. You're standing there in your garden contemplating both the twilight of summer and your now brown and scraggly tomato vines and thinking to yourself, "What in the hell am I going to do with these tomato cages now?". That's where I come in. Luckily for you I need to borrow three tomato cages until the end of autumn to help prop up my morning glories that have overgrown their dowel rod supports. I will be more than happy to return them once my plants begin to die off for the season so that you may once again shoot for that perfect tomato sandwich next summer. So go ahead and shoot me a PM and I will even drive to your house (that's right! for FREE!) and take those tear-stained tomato cages off of your hands...at least temporarily.

Try posting this on Freecycle. I'm sure someone on there has tomato cages they don't need.

Oh good call! I haven't switched my Freecycle group from Burlington since I moved back to Cary.

10/10 for original post.

also, ncstatetke might have some cages that will be available shortly. I know he killed one of his plants just the other day.

That's awesome. I appreciate the thought in case they do become available. Sorry to hear about his tomato plant(s). And since his user name has the nefarious "tke" in it I assume he's a frat guy. So his cages aren't going to try and mack on my morning glories are they? You know, get them drunk with a special blend of "water" and then attempt to fertilize them?

Despite the fact that you are my mortal TWW enemy, I would like to commend you on your excellent thread.

If I a) ate vegetables and b) grew my own vegetables, in particular tomatoes I would glady give you the cages.

But... I don't.

And now look what happened. An earthquake came along and done opened a sinkhole which swallowed up your sad, pathetic remnants of tomato plants! There, there. As bad as it seems now I have some comforting news for you. I am still in need of about three tomato cages and will be more than happy to borrow them from you for just a few months. That should be ample time for you to overcome your grief and plan a winning tomato strategy for next summer!
