Pole beans climb by means of twining, and poles or a long bamboo cain will work, from six to eight feet high and about two inches in diameter usually. These poles are inserted in the ground by first making a hole with a crowbar.
Tomatoes may be left to grow naturally, in which case they sprawl over the ground and much fruit is spoiled by coming in contact with the earth, or they may be staked.
If grown to a single stem each plant will need a stout stake or cain, to which it may be attached by tying with pieces of cloth or tape about an inch wide. Another way of supporting tomatoes is to allow all the shoots to grow at will, but to prevent them from falling on the ground by placing around each plant three or four stakes connected with barrel hoops or with string.
