As urban gardeners, we have a limited amount of space to row our vegetables and flowers. What I have done is. I have employed vertical gardening. Right here as you can see I have a variety of different cucumber plants. Now, a cucumber is a vining crop, which means that, with a vertical support like this one, you can try it to grow up and the fruit-take a look right here, you can grow perfectly fine on the vine.
Different types of crops that work well in a vertical garden are watermelon and pumpkin. Let us go and take a look here, as you can see my pumpkin plants are slight.
Pumpkin plants are also climbing crops. Now, in the country where you have a lot of space, you can just let this grow along the round. But here in the city environment, we do not have all that space, so what I have done here is I have together a dog--. This is really nifty. It is exactly 4x4, so it fits perfectly in your raise beds. And these vines just latch on themselves eventually. You do not have to continuously train them.
Okay, so you can grow vining crops in vertical supports, but there are other types of plants that need support, like my ear loom tomatoes. This is stiffen Mennonites tomatoes. And, it grows to be a huge plant. So, what I have done is I have installed this vertical support, where the plants have basically grown through the vertical support. I only have to train it through, to grow in through on its own. I have my garden pea, this garden pea have pretty much attach onto this vertical support. On their own, and as you can see, I have a bunch of pea pods growing through. Let me show you how to build one of these. It is really super easy.

Great, this is nice and sturdy and all I have to id unscrew it from the raise bed and move it anywhere I need it.
