The cone-shaped wire cage sold everywhere is sized for a determinate tomato and nothing else. An indeterminate variety will fill and then flatten it by mid-July, which is why so many gardens have tomatoes lying sideways in August.

For indeterminate varieties look for supports four to five feet tall with wide openings you can get a hand through, or move to a stake-and-string system and prune to two leaders.

Peppers, aubergines and bushy perennials do fine in standard cages and grow-through hoops. Whatever you use, set it at planting time — driving a support through an established root ball does real damage.
