Garden Trellis Ideas

Here are some great Ideas for trellis' that my friend Willi is suggesting on her blog, diggin food. She is the West Coast editor for Organic Gardening ands she lives in my neighborhood. Although these are great ideas and pretty low cost, any way you can get the plant to grow upwards will work. I have seen so many make shift trellis' made from bed box springs to old hand rails turned sideways! We are using a scrap of my friend's deer fence that had gotten tangled in blackberries, and in order for them to get it out they had to cut it out... it was perfect for our fence. That was the first bed we readied for this year, since we can see it from the dining table. Now the peas are grabbing hold... We have our peas in containers because we have railroad ties as the border of our yard.  When the peas are done, the squash will be ready to go up! And on the other side, we plan to grow our cucumbers and beans the same way.

I am off to Vashon to plant more dang strawberries and clean up the plant propagation area on the farm.
