Loved the video of the trellis system for tomatoes. My Dad taught me to do that using ‘1 x 1’s’ lumber instead of the wire. We cut up old tee-shirts to lash the horizontal bars to the verticle ones, and to tie the tomato plants onto them as they grew. The tee-shirt material is soft-no damage to the plants and can be pulled tight on the wood so it doesn’t move or slide. Worked out great, very little cost.

Barbee, the structures are trellises that PJ uses for climbing veggies such as cucumbers, peas, and pole beans. He sent in a detailed description and more photos related to how he designed and created the trellises that I will post up in the near future.

That’s so great to hear about kids getting off the Wii to garden! I’d like to start a church garden with the youth, and that article was encouraging. Thanks for posting it!

INCREDIBLE! I am in awe of what you accomplished in a single season-that would have taken me years. I am very interested in what those ‘tall’ things are and what you plan on doing w/ them.

Are the leftover remnants of a by-gone swing set? Or huge arbors? (As Kenny will tell you, I have lately developed a fixation on arbors.) Either way, what do you plan on growing there? Cucumbers? Green beans?

If they are slick round poles-there may be a bit of a logistical problem with the plants finding a purchase to cling to BUT from what you have alredy demonstrated no obstacle is too great for you!

Thanks PJ and Kenny, I look forward to seeing future posts!
