Tomato support system?

I have tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets (one per bucket) on my deck. When they got taller I supported them by tying them to the deck railing. Now, they're taller than the railing. Any ideas for supporting large plants on a wooden deck?
thanks,
Nancy

Doug says only the same kind of thing you're doing only bigger :-) Or let them flop. Or pick up a small trellis from a garden shop - and tie that to the wall or deck railing. Bottom line - you can do it any way you can think of - the problem is that this plant is a big one - and it will grow like stink if you let it :-)

My best advice might be to train it as a vine. Instead of taking a single leader and training it vertically - take multiple leaders (use the suckers) and train them horizontally outwards into a fan shape. That way you can control the growth (it will still easily reach the tops of a deck railing) but you'll have a lot more growth controlled and harvest multiple shoots that are under control. You'll still have the problem of it wanting to grow above the railing but with multiple shoots, you can get the same harvest by topping the plant when it gets to the top of the railing - you'll get the harvest from half a dozen shoots instead of a singleton.

Hope that's clear. Train it as an espaliered fruit tree instead of a tomato. :-)

That doesn't help you for this year though. No idea what to do now except let it flop over the top (tie it securely to the top and let 'er go)
