I like to use cages for my tomato plants. This works well except
as the season goes on the tomatoes tend to get taller than the
cage. This results in the top of the plant falling over and
sometimes breaking from its own weight. This year I made an
effort to get taller cages, but I can already tell that 
it won't be enough. What do other people do about this?
My cages are currently 4 feet high. (Yes, I know I could stake
the tomatoes but I like cages better)
