Attach the end of a string to a bamboo stick or any other wood tutor. Stitch tutor vertically into the ground. Attach a stone at the other end of the string. Put the stone next to the baby plant. The plant will climb along the string.
Harvesting will be easier and the plant receives more sun than when climbing vertically on the very tutor. The plant will not be contaminated by any fungi or rot that could start at the foot of the wood tutor. The tutor should be about 5 1/2 feet. You could also use camping tent pegs if you don't have stones.
Hope this help!
