I have seen dozens of gardens and yours is by far the most beautiful, organized, and successful garden I've ever seen.

The way you care for the crops is impressive

… another good one for the trellis is sweet potato vines for the greens … which you can substitute for spinach ..

I grow veges on an old bed spring hung on a fence. They have lots to grab hold of and the bed springs were free.

Chilacayote squash are called 7 year melons because they will keep up to 7 years, and grow sweeter with time. always use a heavy trellis or a tree. When they took over some mesquite the other year, people would stop and ask what they were. I told them it took years, but I finally managed to cross mesquite with melons LOL.

Thank you so much for this informative video about veggies that’s need support, I can’t imagine how I will have fruits without it 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️🍅🍆🥬🥦🥒👩‍🌾👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

I only have a passionfruit plant producing right now. It is so satisfying. Plans are to build another trellis and try to grow beans or squash. Beautiful video as always! 🌱🥰

Great info, it just gave an idea to add vertical trellises to my raised 4’x8’x3’ high boxes, they should fit perfectly on the ends where I normally plant 6” in for the rows, this will give me a whole bunch of new crops, thanks.

Great love this video - it's also excellent for small spaces too where growing upward is easier in terms of space management

[SatchelHyman]

I love this ! Thank you for the tips ! I just purchased a few 7x4 panels from Home Depot and the electrical conduit/rebar/plumb fixtures to get started this weekend with some trellises, Thank you for your vertical videos you are the greatest !

[johnmalatesta]

When I try to train my cucumbers up a trellis, they won't climb it and seem to stop growing? But if I let them sprawl and vine all over the ground they grow huge and produce. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I've been trying and failing to trellis cucumbers for going on 10 years. I just installed 2 giant trellises in my garden and I hope I can get it together to successfully train the cucumbers and gourds I plan on growing this summer.

Anredera cordifolia is my most "productive" vine vegetable (noxious weed, except that where I live, winter kills it unless stored). I like snake melons (Trichosanthes), luffa, red yardlong beans, and hyacinth beans for ornamental vegetable vines.
