Tomato plant support

Hi all. My tomato plants are very large and currently living indoors. They have a single cane for support but do I need additional canes or something else to support the sides at all? The variety is gardeners delight.

    Very healthy looking plants. 😊 

    It is usual to take out the side shoots on Gardeners Delight and other ‘Indeterminate’ types of tomatoes, otherwise they grow too bushy and produce fewer tomatoes. 


    That way a strong cane should be sufficient support. 

    You can use the side shoots to grow on as cuttings.
