Growing on a trellis allows you to grow more food in less space. There are also some other great benefits to vertical gardening. In this video, I will talk about trellises, and show you 12 vegetables that can be grown on a trellis.

👍Beautiful garden
Sir, I’m still a beginner 3rd year gardener and am most grateful I’ve found your videos today. This one was extremely informative! May I ask how many feet you cut your 5’ cages? They’re genius!
Hy🙋
Amazing info, but the narrator got me cracking for 9min 🤣
You forget another BIG advantage of growing vertical: NO WEED BATTLES COVERING ALL
Will build a 20m2 vertical green house this year… 💪🏻😉
Tomatoes, beans, paprika, peppers, squash, cucumbers… mainly
Do you have any seed to sell?
Sorry for the green beans
Try chayotee!
Midwest Gardener..Don't know what I like more ….your vegetables or your soothing voice.
Peas!
Nj zone 6b here! New Sub also. Your vids are very relaxing to watch and listen to!!
Kale and sweet pea works well on a cow panel also
Any of the runner beans Scarlet runners
have gorgeous orange red blossoms that hummingbirds flock to. The beans are delicious young, with or without being stringed. Leave the pods til the beans are dry,huge, purple and black, and so good for chili or refried. They usually try and grow 15 to 30 feet when given a chance, and make a superb shade screen for a deck or a southern window room.
How far apart is the spacing needed to plant for vertical for melons, cucumbers?
Don't forget the lemon cucumbers..there my favorite
Making sure my sub sticks. Thumbs up, commenting and watching!
Nice video, very helpful. Loved your voice, sounded like Clint Eastwood giving insightful gardening directions. Thanx again.
Spaghetti squash?
Your collection of videos is very impressive! Thank you! I live in Ohio and I foresee these videos being helpful as I learn about growing! Thanks again. Take care!
If I sow seeds this month, can I grow long beans?
You are growing Bangladeshi veggies also.Where do you live?
How do you make them healthy?They are really healthy.
That's why you can grow everything.I live in UK,here always weather is cold.Only for 3 months we put our plants outside .At first, we germinate seeds at home than we take our plants outside. It takes 3 months at home,3 months outside.
Long beans are heavy producers, i grow them too here in southeast Michigan.
My favorite pole beans is Blue Lake hands down.
I adore Honey Cucumbers… no bitterness and faintly sweet. I can only find seeds at Burpee.
Such a soothing voice. Please consider creating a guided meditation like walking through a garden. Also, a gentle audio book that's easy to fall asleep to.
What an awesome video! No messing around!
👍💕🍅🥒🥗
I have no idea what the plant is that is growing 6 feet tall on my patio. I had listed it as celery as a seedling but it is not, has strange shaped leaves and tiny white flowers . I can't figure it out.
What kind of cucumber you grow? What the name? Look good. Where you buy the seeds?
Nice and simple ideas for the trellises building thank you. Beautiful tone in your vocals, no doubt your tomatoes would find that extremely soothing 🙏💧🌱
This sounds crazy but young slender loofa is really good to eat. The flowers are the most amazing pure buttery yellow you can imagine. We grew them on one side on an arch trellis and the Chinese snake beans on the other. We let the snake beans get large, and they ended up 3 – 4' long. We made a super cool arched trellis by taking T posts, and putting two opposing each other, bend a 16' wire livestock panel between the T posts and viola! You got it! We did two together and it cost $70 total a few years ago. What we would do different is make the distance between opposing T posts wider and also don't put the panel so low the ground. Lift it up at least foot above the garden box, as your climbers will at least go that far. Or even higher up the T posts. When covered with loofa and snake beans it makes a magical tunnel. Our pollinators love it.
I really enjoyed this video especially your yardlong/asparagus beans. I just started growing 3 varieties of these including a sweet white and long king yardbean. They’re excellent, freeze well, taste great, nice texture and rather prolific. I will be growing these every year!
Wait spinach? Love spinach, but it hates the ground and heat here though
I ordered python bean seeds and got nothing, it was so disappointing.
Just discovered you YouTube channel. And very impressed with the tons of information about gardening. I’m a newcomer in gardening from Milwaukee with a small space for a couple of beds and containers. I’m looking forward to start planting you’ve been doing this for years. Maybe you can do a video for newbies
