Wind stricken tomatoes

The poor tomatoes got battered by the strong wind last night. The containers in the less sheltered area had a bad time of it and this morning it was a real struggled to tie them up better.

I didnt realise how much support they would need and had put canes around the edge of the container to be tied to if needed. What I should have done was place a cane next to each plant when first potting them into the larger pot. With a cnae each and close by the tieing in would be easier and Im sure they would grow taller and better too.

The more exposed pots have been moved to a more sheltered spot now so I hope they feel better.
