Congrats on the 100k subscribers!
Great ideas Thnx
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.
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
This was so great!
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.
loved this episode- I will try some of the ones you suggested
I never thought of growing ground cherries on a trellis. Thanks for the tips!
This is my first year growing cantaloupes; they haven’t grown a lot as of yet; I think I will definitely trellis them; Thank you for sharing….Salute!!!🍃🍃🍃
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.
I live in AZ but we have a lot more wind than you…..a vertical garden would be salad before being harvested.
What are you using for those trellises, the metal ones? Where can a person find them? Loved your video glad I found your channel
lovely garden. One question: does metal trellis burn plants due to metal getting hot
?
My favorite that I grow are Butternut squash. Children grow too.
I love this ! Thank you for the tips ! I just purchased a few 7×4 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 !
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.
Hey girl I don’t care
What do you use to support your watermelons? Were those macrame bags?
Thank you
I love your videos. Truly informative. Thank you. 🍇
Great video. thanks for sharing. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Where did you purchase your trellises?
Awesome every time thanks. Where did you get your water melon holder’s
👌👌👌my. Chanal. Help
Wow! That's lot of useful,pleasingly well narrated, visual information. Thanks, so much!
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.
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 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️🍅🍆🥬🥦🥒👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾
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!
… another good one for the trellis is sweet potato vines for the greens … which you can substitute for spinach ..
It was a full course
Thank you 😊
I wished you were my elder sister to give me all the information here in INDIA.
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.
Thank you for your leadership.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰thank you for the information 🥰🥰🥰
You have an amazing garden 🪴
I love running veggies …so lush n green …Happy Summer to you n keep sharing these amazing tips 🪴
Nice video 👍
Nice
with vertical rather than arch trellis, does it hurt the plants to prune them back a little to keep them on the trellis?
Hello!! Where did you get your cucamelons??
you have a nice garden
Great love this video – it's also excellent for small spaces too where growing upward is easier in terms of space management
I like cucumber
Thanks for yrour video
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.
What is the best mulch to use in a veggie garden? Please and thank you
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! 🌱🥰
Wow..I never thought about the diseases and better air flow. Good video
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.
