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?

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!
