[QUOTE="Bob Wellenstein, post: 28095"] Just realize that you are going to make the leaves even weaker by supporting them like that. Some plants will have naturally droopy leaves, but those with at least somewhat upright leaves will be stronger if exposed to good air flow (without protection), assuming they are being fed properly. Ask an experienced small plot corn farmer, the outer rows are very resistant to wind damage, but cut them away and expose the inner rows that have been protected, and they will blow over much more easily.
