Re: Looking for space-saving crops

Have you tried training them up a trellis? We actually just dig 2-3' rounds
away from our main plots then let the buggers go. But we too are running
out of viable space for our ever expanding garden.

However, I recall hearing that training zucchini and other summer squash up
a trellis helps conserve space. I think you may be out of luck on Pumpkins
though.
