August 28 / the tape

My tomato plants are getting heavy, between being rained on, and the fruit growing nearer the tops.  A couple of stems are bent, one is broken.  For now, I've taped it in place, though I think cutting it and putting the end in the soil might be better. 

Common birds: house sparrow, robin, cardinal (female), starling (?), downy woodpecker (female)
