   I grew watermelons last year on a standard wooden trellis. They were a variety called sugar baby which are about the size of a cantaloupe and are incredibly sweet. They are the expensive ones that you can find in the grocery stores.

   Great ideas, but I do wish that when she said she’d show us how she made these that she actually showed us. Maybe the video has been shortened and that part got deleted. Oh, well. I’ll figure it out. Thanks for the ideas!

   Excellent video! The world is 3D, the garden too! Come check the videos from the Montreal Permaculture Guild!

   also, in addition to the pieces of wood on the side is there one across the top?

   I never would have thought you could grow pumpkins and watermelon vertically. Any idea what the weight limit would be? Is it only for smaller varieties?

   Its left over goat fencing.

   Love the video! Makes me feel lazy about not putting up my trellises yet. What did you use between the 2×1/2s for the peas? It may work well for my peas and cukes. Thanks!

   Great video on vertical gardening. I have been undecided about growing some pie pumpkins vertically — but now I have just made the decision that I’m going to give it a try Also I really liked your vertical trellis and how it can be moved from one bed to another.

   Thanks again for the videos!

    Awesome! I built a grape and passion fruit spa gazebo. Looks great, and produces lots of good food to eat!

    You rule, Garden Girl!

    Thats awesome =) Thank you…I am growing pumpkins this year, I would have thought them too big to grow upwards… =)

    Fantastic Videos, great to see you actually doing, and building vertical growing spaces, chicken tractors ect. These videos should be shown on the UK Permaculture Design Courses. Excellent thanks for posting

    also the passion flower vine makes very good medicine …sleep …shingles etc ….

17. bebop54 - April 20th, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    i think your vid’s are great !
    i also must do it all vertical ..here in town ..
    (after a formidable veggie operation in the mountains )

    use bamboo trellis & it holds heavy weight ..although don’t let them get too big ….
    can’t do the super heavy big squash but it’s ok …..
    i built raised beds in a cement courtyard where there was just garbage ….
    ..

    Excellent Patti… keeping the fruit off the ground must also avoid those flat spots and limit ground rot? You’ve given me some great new ideas! I’m so trapped by my own horizontal thoughts (“> another five star vid!

19. GardenGirltv - April 20th, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    I have grown very heavy fruit, I haven’t found the limit yet.

20. mrsengeseth - April 20th, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    This is great! I might have to change it up a little for my garden, but I love the idea! My one question is, what variety of pumpkin and watermelon are you growing n these? I am assuming the smaller varieties so it won’t pull it down? Or are they pretty resilient?

21. amiga350 - April 20th, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    Here we have another example of getting so much out of the plants we grow by simply using the space available. I’m in the ruburbs, but have little sunny space. So, UP WE GO!

22. elpilotoazul - April 20th, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    Mademoiselle, if you don’t mind my asking, how tall should the vertical support be for cucumbers? I want to try this next spring.
