I have several times considered de-cluttering a 3-tined spade fork, I have two others that aren't missing a tine. But it saved the day today, I was able to weave the handle up through a tomato cage and past branches and then push it into the ground to support a plant that had slid sideways onto a smallish patch of carrots. And several beautiful green tomatoes were resting on the ground. It's ready to storm--again. I hope the fork holds it up! I may have to get out there with some of those bird feeder shepherd's crook things I'm not using and suspend them from above, otherwise.
