Dam I want a garden girl…wow…I think she’s Peurto Rican maybe …
I have something eating holes thru the middle of my tomatoes! What should I do?
you r 1 smart lady. u married?
Greetings! If you have any questions about gardening please take a look at my page, it’s very helpful and easy!
What is missing is actually educating people on hanging plants upside down on fences, beams & other strong support systems. I have tomato plants in a sealed canvas bag hanging through the bottom, needs lots of water!! seems to grow faster than hydroponics perhaps because the plant doesn’t struggle growing against gravity. The Stock is almost 3 times thicker than the scrawny ground plants as well.
do you get good pumpkins? i thought they needed to have ground warmth under them to produce well.
Nice vid! Good series
Seriously! Patti, you’re my new best friend. I haven’t felt this inspired in YEARS! YOU GO GARDEN GIRL!!
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?
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?
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!
Mademoiselle, if you don’t mind my asking, how tall should the vertical support be for cucumbers? I want to try this next spring.
your husbands lucky he can sit aound the house and watch football while patti does the yard work and house repairs lucky guy

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 ….
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!
