    I'd put it nearer to the fence, then maybe you could attach or lean something against the fence to support the plant
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Thanks I will move it so it can lean against the wall. Got loads of tomatos on it, still mainly green but picked a red one yesterday.

    Loosely tie a long string to the base of the plant. Wind it gently round the plant.  Find a siutable point you can fix the string,  as high as you can.  Move the plant to postion it below this fixing point.    From time to time loop this string around your plant as it grows. 

    Better done earlier, but hey!
