… 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.

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.

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.

[@user-hh3cz1km6h]

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.

[@Jessicasmth705]

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.

Hello Angela, I found your channel about a month ago and I absolutely love it. I love gardening but have never grown Lufa. I was wondering if you could tell me what you use it for especially with that large of a quantity.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

As a sponge in the house, I share it with friends. I don't grow it every year for sure.

Pick them when they’re young and they’re great sautéed (the skin is too tough to eat so do peel the skin first).

I use cattle panels from tractor supply. They are 4 ft wide and 16 ft long. We folded them like a taco, rolled them and loaded them in the back of our truck and tied them down. They were easy to place in the garden with a piece of short rebar at the base, 3 on each side works well.

[@villiehaizlip7626]

[@tiadrumgold4702]

I like growing vertically. I am growing cucumber, squash first time, hopefully male and female flowers will come. I have volunteer Malabar spinach from last season vines everywhere.

[@mandiesplace]

What is a ground cherry? I saw them in Home Depot when I was getting my vegetables but I am really curious. Is it more of a fruit or vegetable? Thank you! I live in AZ and I love watching your videos!

[@sofiagriffith9694]

It is more of a fruit.

[@Lisa-vf4zj]

It’s more of a fruit. It grows in a husk. The best way I can describe is the texture of a cherry tomato with a tropical taste of a pineapple and some say strawberry. It’s really good.

[@mandiesplace]

That sounds interesting I’ll have to try it! Thank you!

Hi ! I just wonder what can you grow in the shade of those treillis and it her Clim ing structure underneeth, beside or behind ? Regards, Mark, from Brittany !

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Underneath the trellises nothing grows (it's a pathway, but the way they are positioned (running east to west) keeps them from blocking too much sunlight.

My favorite that I grow are Butternut squash. Children grow too.

This is off topic but are you still happy with your “garden in a minute “watering grid set up? I was just wondering several years down the road how they are holding up. Any issues with sediment blocking the holes?

with vertical rather than arch trellis, does it hurt the plants to prune them back a little to keep them on the trellis?

You can keep some of the side shoots pruned if you want to

They like warm soil - a few weeks after your last spring frost.

[@rickf.9253]

Can you please tell us where you get items like the vine clips like you use on your tomatoes and the netting used to support the watermelons. Thanks. I highly recommend your perpetual planting calendar to others, (especially in our zone 9 in AZ) I bought one last week, and it was in my mail the next day. It's very durable and a great size. It is so much better than the alphabetical charts. Well worth the price. I'll be ordering a second one soon for a gift for a family member who also gardens.

I need to know how you got so org😢anized. This is my first growing season and I am so excited to get started but I’m so overwhelmed by all the new plants. Any advice on how to get organized would be appreciated.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Start small and pick a vegetable, herb and a flower. Learn about those 3 things and then add from there. You don't have to plant everything at once. You'll learn more as you go.

[@MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead]

I agree with everything but squash of any variety. Squash vines have joints all along the length of the vine that make contact with the ground and root, providing further nutrients and water to the plants. Sending them vertically causes nutrient deficiency and can greatly diminish your harvest, as well as making the vines exposed to squash bugs.

[@sn232]

That is an interesting point. I did grow mine vertically and they did well and it helped to see if there was an issue with squash bugs vs it being hidden (I kept diatomaceous earth around the bottom and on the stalk). I never thought about it not receiving as many nutrients or water, mine naturally were climbing up things without my help. Thank you for that comment Cheyenne :)

[@reneebrown2968]

Nothing is worse than growing a beautiful cantaloupe only to find the beauty you grew is just a rind full of dirt because a bunch of bugs or other garden pest. I grew the biggest best watermelon that was easily 40 lbs but was just a rind full of dirt because a gofer got it. I wanted to hunt it down with my shotgun
