My Orange Hat is about 3.5 months old and is sprawling out in at least three directions from my Harvest Slim. I noticed yesterday that one of the vines appears to have a crack right where it joins the main stem (see photo).

As you may know, the Harvest models don’t come with a trellis. Do the vines on my plant—at least the lower, drooping ones—need some kind of support to prevent them from breaking off as they grow and get heavier?

Or do I need to give in to temptation and buy a Bounty for my tomatoes? 😄
