Do you need to stake or cage em?

.....scramble em? fry em???

I use a short stake - 3 feet above the ground - and just use twine to kind of build a cage as the plant grows by tying loose loops around the plant, giving some of the side shoots support (the fruit gets heavy!).

Thanks for the info, I'm out of cages so I'll have to build something elaborate by hand and from scratch...ha ha

Somewhere in a little town in Michigan, a chef in an industrial kitchen named Mrs. Bully just winced and rolled her eyes :roll: ..not knowing why, she assumed her husband was up to something.

Let us know what they taste like. I grew some white ones a few years ago and was surprised by the quantity of seeds the fruit had.

Bully, I just stuck 1 small stake in the pot and tied with twine. Works fine so far.
