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. If you are looking for a list of crops that can be grown on a trellis, this video should give you some good ideas of what can be grown vertically on a trellis.

  1. 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!

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Nice and simple ideas for the trellises building thank you. Beautiful tone in your vocals, no doubt your tomatoes would find that extremely soothing 🙏💧🌱

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

  11. 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
