New Tomato Cages for 2019

I was working in the garden this morning and noticed that I need new tomato cages.  I am not sure how old they are.  Maybe 10 years?  They seem to leaning one direction or another.  I know in years past when they get so heavy from the plants and fruit that they can blow over in strong wind.   Yes, they usually do survive. 

When I first started gardening, I had the metal cages, but I grow tomato trees so the plants needed more support.  There was a great article in the Denver Post Grow section on trellises and other structures.  I knew I need something like that instead.  My nice husband built my current ones.  I am sure I can get him to make me new ones for next year.

Leaning right

Yes, there are tomatoes and other plants somewhere in there.
