Patti Moreno, the Garden Girl, shows you techniques to get more out of limited landspace, by growing up. Check out her website at http://www.gardengirltv.comThi... video is available through closed caption(cc) enjoy in any language.FULL TEXT:Vertical Gardening Part 1As urban gardeners, we have a limited amount of space to grow our vegetables and flowers. What I have done is I have employed verticle gardening.Right here as you can see, I have a variety of different cucumber plants. Now, a cucumber is vining crop, which means that with vertical support like this one, you can train it to grow up and the fruit,Take a look right here, can grow perfectly fine on the vine.Different types of crops that work well in a vertical garden are watermelon and pumpkin. Let us go take a look.Here, as you can see, my pumpkin plants are thriving. Pumpkin plants are also vining crops. Now, in the country, where you have a lot of space, you can just let this grow along the ground, but here in a city environment, we do not have all that space.So, what I have done here is, I put together a dog kennel. This is actually really nifty. It is exactly 4 x 4 so it fits perfectly in your raise beds. And, these vines just slough on themselves eventually. You do not have to continuously train them.Okay, so you can go vining crops on vertical supports, but there are other types of plants that also need support like my heirloom tomatoes here, this are Tiffin Mennonite tomatoes, and it grows to be a huge plant.So what I have done is I have installed this vertical support where the plant has basically grown through the vertical support. I do not even have to train it through; it is growing through on its own.I have my garden pea. These garden peas have pretty much attached on this vertical support on their own, and as you can see, I have a bunch of pea pods growing through. Let me show you how to build one of this, it is really super easy.(Demo)Great, this is nice and sturdy. And, all I have to do is unscrew it from the raise bed and move it anywhere I need it.I am Patti the Garden Girl, thanks for watching.

You are so beautiful! Are you single?By the way, when you show how to build a vertical support I would have liked a slower demo with instructions. I wasn't sure how you built it.

I grow plants vertically, and I keep them from frying in the sun with some spotshading parasols I found on shadedot.com. You just stick them in the pots and they perfectly filter the sun to give my tomatoes and other food plants the right amount of light during the hottest time of day. I love them. I place mosquito netting over them to tent my plants so I no longer have to use pesticides or any poisons to keep bugs of my plants. It's great, and they're not expensive.

@GardenGirltv I've heard to grow melons vertically you should support them with a stocking or a hammock of some sort... do you find this is not needed?
