Re: Vertical Pumpkins

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Mary,

If the fruits are heavier than a cucumber you have to rig a sling for them.
Old pantyhose are supposed to be ideal.  You also have to sure the trellis
is strong because they weigh so much.  I haven't done this, but I have read
about it.  I've grown my cucumbers vertically for years, but they are much
lighter.  If you're talking about those really little ones, you should be ok
just by tying the plant to the trellis.  I have some foam covered wire that
I really like.
