I can barely remember what this look like when we first planted it. Now, with just little bit of encouragement and attaching the cucumber plant to my nylon trellis here. Look what happens, right there, just curled around and attached itself and there is a little cucumber already coming through. What I am doing basically now is just giving a little bit of extra support one thing that I found is that as the plants grows some of it of course will attached, so for example if you take a look right here, these has attached itself pretty recently, but as you can see it also hanging out from the raise bed so I want to really bring him out.
You want to try, be as gentle as possible you do not want to break the plant in any place, if you can help. As you can see I am not doing it very, very tightly. I want to leave some room for the plants actually grow. Here is one that has decided to make the tomato plant at trellis now we do not want that, you want to bring it through and wherever you see the little tiny flowers that is where your are going to see fruits or vegetables. I have two different cucumber plants on the end here with a larger mount of beautiful flowers. I can see a few cucumbers growing, so I am going to attach this one on this side and it will eventually attach itself and I am just taking this other side here attaching it over here because I did cut around the corner when I planted these cucumber plants.
I think this nylon trellises are really; really good I can recommend them anymore. Basically it seems like we have been very, very flimsy but because of this metal frame it really strengthen it because it is very tough, it also very strong and it is able to support the fruit and the plants as they grow up. Another really good thing about this is that you can just reach your hand through without any problem. Some of the other smaller vertical trellises that I used have a smaller opening. I have small hands so it is fine, it is not a problem if you have bigger hands it is a little more difficult to be able to get your hand to these smaller openings of my vertical trellises but these one is 6 by 6, very simple. It is really, really clarifying and rewarding just watching nature takes it course and growing an edible food. I am Pattie Moreno the Garden Girl, Thanks for watching.
