Candace<\/a>: what are you planning to grow?<\/a><\/p>\n

As of today, I've got two of my 4'x4' boxes planted with vertical trellises and chicken wire cages. So far I've planted:<\/object><\/p>\n

  • 9 Beans<\/li>\n
  • 16 Beets<\/li>\n
  • 9 Broccoli<\/li>\n
  • 3 Cabbage<\/li>\n
  • 2 Jalape\u00f1o<\/li>\n
  • 4 Lettuce<\/li>\n
  • 13 Onions<\/li>\n
  • 5 Peas<\/li>\n
  • 9 Radishes<\/li>\n
  • 4 Spinach<\/li>\n
  • 3 Summer Squash<\/li>\n
  • 4 Swiss Chard<\/li>\n
  • 2 Watermelon<\/li>\n
  • 3 Zucchini<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    One tomato plant purchased (still indoors), need a couple more. Pumpkins to be started in a few weeks in time for October. We also purchased 4 dwarf fruit trees this year: 2 apple, one peach, one plum. I don't expect any yield this year, but you never know.<\/p>\n

    This year is the first year we're being serious about it - and surprise (to me), it's a hell of a lot of work!<\/p>\n

    But I did solve the problem of making a cage that fits a box with a vertical trellis. I made a 4'x4'x18\" goalie net of wood and chicken wire. Then I tied chicken wire around the other side of the trellis so that the net and the trellis fit together to form a cage (with a one-inch gap for vining plants to grow up). It looks like it will work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
