  • Growing on a trellis allows you to grow more food in less space. There are also some other great benefits to vertical gardening. In this video, I will talk about trellises, and show you 12 vegetables that can be grown on a trellis. If you are looking for a list of crops that can be grown on a trellis, this video should give you some good ideas of what can be grown vertically on a trellis. This isn't a complete list of vegetables that can be grown on a trellis though, so be sure to add any that aren't on this list in the comments below.

    This sounds crazy but young slender loofa is really good to eat. The flowers are the most amazing pure buttery yellow you can imagine. We grew them on one side on an arch trellis and the Chinese snake beans on the other. We let the snake beans get large, and they ended up 3 - 4' long. We made a super cool arched trellis by taking T posts, and putting two opposing each other, bend a 16' wire livestock panel between the T posts and viola! You got it! We did two together and it cost $70 total a few years ago. What we would do different is make the distance between opposing T posts wider and also don't put the panel so low the ground. Lift it up at least foot above the garden box, as your climbers will at least go that far. Or even higher up the T posts. When covered with loofa and snake beans it makes a magical tunnel. Our pollinators love it.

    Last year we started using cattle panels and WE love them. They're rigid and don't rust. Rather expensive but worth it in my opinion. I saw some jicama tubers in Walmart the other day. We grow luffa on trellises and let the ube vine up them too. Stay warm. Stay well. Best wishes Bob.

    • @MidwestGardener

      I agree about the cattle panels. They last for years and years. I need to give luffa a try. I have some seeds, but it seems like I always have more stuff than I have room to grow it. It's starting to warm up a little this week here. Stay safe!

    Great video as usual😄 I love the peppers you grew. I'm amazed they grew that tall. I grow my cow peas, pink eye purple hull or lima beans on tomato cages. I invert the tomato cages (attaching them with zip ties) for extra height. I also use 'closet maid' shelves and a metal fencing that hubby and I attached to the wood fence. My tomatoes quite often outgrow the 8' tall cages I made. I add stakes to secure the cages from blowing over should we get a hurricane. Take care and be safe.

    I went vertical this year and grew cucumbers, pole beans and my new favorite honeynut squash on trellises this year and was thrilled with the great yields. I discovered honeynut squash in the supermarket two years ago and have been growing them from saved seed since. They are about half the size of butternut squash and start out green and turn orange/yellow when ripe. Unlike butternuts which are considered winter squash (that can survive for months after being picked) honeynuts are thin-skinned (the skin is edible) and they are very sweet, almost like yams but they won't last all winter.

      I, too, bought a honeynut squash which was in a bin with mixed varieties of squash. It is much sweeter than a butternut though it looks like a small butternut that has been on vacation - it's more of a tan color than regular butternut. I saved the seed from it and grew more as I had not seed any seeds for honeynut in the seed catalogs. Glad to say many seed companies carry them now. Thanks for this list. I would never have thought of jicama.

      @@peacetoall1201 Hi! Thanks for the question. First, understand I am not an 'expert' seed saver...but it works. I simply let the seeds air dry then pack them in little bags I make from silverware holders at restaurants, small greeting card envelops, or make my own from paper grocery bags. I cut them in half widthwise, which mean I get two little seed bags from each. Label them with seed type, any special info (whether from a particular fruit/veggie grown from a certain company or gifted by a fellow gardener, etc.) and date. I have a little recipe box I keep the seed in and stash it in a cool place. It's neat and they grow.

After the plants hit the 4 foot mark, every few evenings, I would go out and weave the vines back into the fence. Not sure I will grow squash on the fence again, but at least I know it works.

    Great list! I thought about cattle panels, but I think I'm gonna build some conduit trellises for ease of garden clean-up.

Have a great weekend!

    I have grown Armenian or Metki Melon for years. There are 3 different types and the light green one you grow is the best tasting. I also found 'muncher' cucumber is the best for my climate. A couple of years ago I picked 900 lbs from a 30 foot row grown on a wire fence. That was my best year. I am trying mouse melons this year and hope they do well.

I think on the patio I will use the store-bought steel cages, and along the brick wall I am planning stakes and , string method. I hope for a bigger and better crop this year. What am I growing you ask? Cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, bell (sweet) pepper, and cucumbers. I'm also trying the hanging method for some red chile peppers and jalepenos. I just subscribed today.
