Look at the fabulous fun trellises I found at Lowes! I like the tomato towers I have from Gardener's Supply and added these for additional support. The debate about pinching or not for the best tomato harvest goes round and round. After two years of pinching, I have decided to not pinch this year and let the suckers grow, thus introducing the need for more support. Supposedly, pinching leads to taller tomato plants with larger fruit and not pinching leads to wider plants with smaller fruits, but with my short growing season here in Minneapolis more tomatoes seems like the better idea. We all know you can not trust everything you read on the internet and I now believe the idea of pinching is for other growing zones and bad advice for me.
I added a Miracle Grow Soaker System, purchased locally for about $30.00. The reviews had some complaints about leaks due to too strong of water pressure, but mine is attached to a hose fitting with a flow control and a timer. I have the pressure on super low and can soak the bales in about 20 minutes.

I planted Swiss Chard and covered it with bird netting to keep out the bunnies!
