FULL TEXT Vertical Gardening Part 1 As urban gardeners, we have a limited amount of space to grow our vegetables and flowers. What I have done is I have employed verticle gardening. Right here as you can see, I have a variety of different cucumber plants. Now, a cucumber is vining crop, which means that with vertical support like this one, you can train it to grow up and the fruit, Take a look right here, 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 take a look. Here, as you can see, my pumpkin plants are thriving. Pumpkin plants are also vining crops. Now, in the country, where you have a lot of space, you can just let this grow along the ground, but here in a city environment, we do not have all that space. So, what I have done here is, I put together a dog kennel. This is actually really nifty. It is exactly 4 x 4 so it fits perfectly in your raise beds. And, these vines just slough on themselves eventually. You do not have to continuously train them.

What type of soil do you use to grow your raised plater garden?
Pattyi Lov eyour videos, Great ideas, Maybe you can show us how you use the worm bin castings in your garden or in potting. Your tomatoes are out of this world. You never answered the question I believe are they plant from seed or a start?
Pattyi Love your videos, Great ideas, Maybe you can show us how you use the worm bin castings in your garden or in potting. Your tomatoes are out of this world. You never answered the question I believe are they planted from seed or a starts? Who are some of your seed suppliers? It is obvious that you get quailty seeds and supplies!
Your videos are some of my favorites. Loved the seed tape idea. The information in your videos is presented in such a nice clear manner, love your videos. I have just made 10 new beds 10×4 so I am looking for ideas, the beds run beside a chain link fence so plenty of opportunity for climbers
this is EXACTLY what i needed! i love, love, love your videos and information. thank you so much!
Can u come to jamaica with me and teach me how to do all this???
I love your place!!
I just found you via a search for “indoor gardening” in general…I just wanted to let you know, you are a great inspiration! Thanks so much for sharing.
Do you have a video on how to build these vertical supports?
Garden Girl Rocks!! My garden is so awesome since I found you… thank you, thank you, thank You!!
What happens to a 40 pound pumpkin on a trellis – SPLAT. Think it through. No watermelons and pumpkins vertically. Use a horizontal plane trellis
This is fabulous & it keeps cukes from rotting and squash etc. shaped nicely. Thanks for the great video.
thanks for the video’s and ideas. I live in Holland Europe and because of your inspirating vids now I have a veggetables garden too! We cal it a “volkstuin” , like “common people garden” a piece of land that you can hire for a very low price, I pay 55 m2 for about 55 dollar a year!! It is 2 min from my home.
loookin good Garden gal! Cant wait to start my garden now! vancouver island bc is the perfect climate for it!
@agraman1 It’s fine to grow pumpkins and watermelons vertically as there are plenty of varieties that aren’t near 40 lbs. You can tie stockings around the fruit and to the vertical structure to support the fruit.
brilliant!!!! i told my husband it could be done!!!! thxx so much!!!
i used this for my cannabis plants and it made a big difference in my yield
Thanks, Patti! I have some heirloom beef steak tomatoes that I’ve just transplanted, and I’m sure they are going to need some vertical help like you built. How far back from the base stalk of the plant do you recommend setting the trellis?
omg i did not know pumpkins were vines! now i can save a lot more space!!!
thank u 
u kick ass , i will be creating one of those vert wiring thingy majiggers for my watermelon and cantelope
hey this is a great idea!!! I love it.
Doesn’t the weight of the melon cause a problem? Like pulling down the entire vine of just too heavy for it’s stem?
Love your vid!!! Thanks for all the info, just when I needed it. You are totally awesome!
Garden Girl, you do city folks proud…
Wow I never knew that you could grow pumpkin vertically. Thank you so much for this information. Really good stuff!
I dont even have room for this. I have 2 tomatoe plants growing vertically, some corn in 1 gallon bu kets each( very small) 2 watermellon plants in 5 gallon buckets( is that big enough for the roots) Indoors is cool, I have zome tomatoes growing under 2 150 watt hps lamps. THEY WORK. GREAT. I use FF soil and GH nutrients. hydro store hase some great stuff for veggies
This is so fascinating…I love the idea and how they have planned every detail to make the most of the environment both receiving and giving …wonderful!
