Growing Zucchini Vertically

I developed this method because I needed a way to grow zucchini vertically without disturbing the soil in my raised bed with a stake.

Riley, yes you’re correct! By trellising the zucchini plant does indeed help in pollination; makes it much easier for bees to reach the flowers. Just make sure to remove excessive big leaves from hiding the blossoms. All the other’s reasons you stated are true too! 👍❤️

Love how clean and pleasant to the eyes your garden area is

I had my first garden year and it was a mess with all the mildew and tomato miner fly issues. I saved most of my plants but it was very time consuming.
I than took the squash and the zucchini up from the ground with a simple wooden trellis which I made myself for this year. Because my husband is electrician I took the wire as you did. It really is the best to bend the plants up. Watching your video to build something more sturdy and good for years to come.
A big thank you from Portugal! 🌻

Beautiful space you've created. Thanks for the advice on going vertical with zucchini/squash. I'm going to be trying it for the first time this year.

We get squash bugs, they lay eggs on the leaves top and bottom. It's much easier to see them if the plant is up off the ground.

Thank you so much for the video, I have brought my Garden "up in the air" and this helped me ALOT for my Zucchini plant. Saves on room & alot less bugs!!

I used my scrap material from making fleece blackets. In my vegetable and flower beds. It is very soft material and doesnt cut or mark my vines.

One tip - move or train squash vines in the hottest part of the day. They are less turgid (more flaccid) and less likely to break. Morning is the worst time to try to train the vines as that is when they are quit stiff.

You remind me a lot of my Grandfather and my husband. Strong, steady, hard-working. Really appreciate your video.

Just want to say how much my family and I appreciate your content! We built trellises this year and raised up our zucchini and yellow squash and they are doing just fantastic! Thank you and wishing you many happy harvests!

Thanks - I had so many questions about a trellis for butternut squash. Saw several videos but only your video answered my questions.

If i vertically grow it 10 ft up and i have 2 plants on one steak? Have one stem grow to the top and the other planted later and grow to the middle?

Glad I came across your video 🙂 I was about to install a metal trellis to try and vertically grow mine. I think I'll try this!

I love it, following your lead. The plants look close to papaya trees🙌💓🙌

First video of yours I have seen. Glad it popped up today. I’m going to wait a bit (prob June) to plant my zucchini to bypass the squash bugs 🤞🏼and with your trellis I might have a chance lol
