The Trellis

Here is a trellis that I suggested Andy build for us. This is one of the many ideas he will eventually claim as his own!
We initially saw it while "doing the Puyallup." It was in the WSU Pierce County booth. It is made specifically for large vine plants and little gardening space. When you have limited space, like us, the only way left to grow is up! Pictured are our cucumbers. As they start to grow, we will attach twine of some sort to the plant and use the pulley system to raise it off the ground. The vines usually take over the garden, but by growing them vertically, we will save space and it will be yet another great visual piece to our beautiful garden.
(Don't worry, I will post another picture as our cukes begin to grow!)
