Some of the varieties we mentioned in the video:
- Painted Serpent Cucumber – long, striped, and interesting to grow on a trellis with others.
- Miniature White Cucumber – white skin and flesh are short and squat, but delicious.
- Patti’s Marketmore – another great cucumber that is a reliable producer
- Lemon Cucumber – oddball shaped, but tasty. Yellow and round – always a good addition to the garden. Use this link to support Gardenerd with a few cents.
- Yard Long Beans – we like Red Pod and Noodle King varieties
The metal trellis we like to use is one from Gardener’s Supply. It separates into segments so you can make it as wide as you need it to be, or break it into 2 or 3 trellises for smaller raised beds.
Try growing a more diverse population of crops on your trellises. You’ll reap the benefits of these trellis tricks and the harvest will be more colorful and delicious.
