    How is your watermelon grows by now?

    I am very interested in verical gardening but I am wondering if growing watermelon on vertical supports is just for the small variety of watermelons. What would keep the weight of the watermelons from from breaking off the vines? I guess this question isn’t just for watermelon but pumpkins also.

    I have grown squashes up our street trees, in the front tree pits in the sidewalk. The melons or squashes may need support as they get larger.

    I like the wire concept. I have been using twine. The wire looks like it will last longer.

    the sometimes rot. that can be a problem.

    Wouldn’t some kind of natural fiber twine for tying plants be more ‘eco-friendly’?

    Great ideas, overall. A very pretty vegetable garden!

    I am trying this year. My thought is that the vine gets as thick as it needs to to support the fruit load. It will need access to the appropriate nutrient, though, which I think is Potassium.

    u should use velcro support strips for vining plants. the wire doesnt expand as the plants girth grows and it tends to cut into the vine, either killing it or slowing the distribution of water,minerals, etc. i heard u say that u like to cut ur own lenfths, so i advise u to use the3/4″ green plastic plant ties from home depot. it comes in a role and u can cut to lengthand looks like a roll on translucent green tape. hope this helps.

    I want to do this for my cucumbers this year. Do the tops have a wood beam in the middle or is it just two beams with the wire in between? And how tall are those? They look like 8 feet.

    We did this with cantaloupe and honeydew during this past summer. We didn’t use any kind of supports for those as the vines are tougher than one might think.

    Some gardeners recycle pantyhose to cradle the heavier fruit, tied to the wire supports to grow up a trellis. Men, you can do it too, it’s OK to ask women for their old pantyhose.

    Great videos. I just planted my very first garden and am not very knowledgable about, well, anything!
    How is that wire fencing attached to the posts? I have 3 cucumber plants that I planted from little plants just a few weeks ago. I didn’t realize they are vine growers. See, I know nothing. Can I replant them this year and use one of your vertical fence ideas?
    Thank you for the great ideas.

    So what about big variety water melons like Crimson Sweets for example. They can get up to 20+ pounds. Can the vine support that weight? Seems like the melon would break off under it’s own weight. Any thoughts on this?

    Love your videos as well. I’m currently growing fruit and veggies out of containers on my balcony… do you think it’s possible to try and grow sugar baby watermelons vertically? Or is that impossible?

    Great video Patti! What I love alot about your videos is that you show the result of your efforts in the same video, (the effect months later). Most gardening shows will show the viewer how to do something in the here-and-now, but don’t “look into the future” to show how successful or how much a failure their instruction turned-out. Love your style and appreciate the effort to stitch all your videos into complete views the way you do.
