2. Brandywine are terrific heirlooms

But they’re indeterminate and early so they continue to grow all of their ~100ish days. Hoops will work early, but they’ll outgrow them pretty quick. if you have a supportive structure above them try hanging them with sisal string (just keep wrapping the string around the leaders for support as they grow) and pinching suckers daily. You can get them 10-12 feet tall depending on your zone and they’ll produce like mad. I companion plant with calendula (pollinators) and basil (flea Beatles), and you can eat both the basil and calendula (calendula is great quickly fried in egg wash and served warm with chèvre and a bottle of wine with the basil).
