Growing food in the city comes with its challenges. The major one is space. I am not telling you anything new here. Growing vertical is one way to get the most out of your small space. One thing we found out last year was if you think your trellis is tall enough, you are most likely wrong. So this year we went BIG!
This is our trellis for the snap peas. Last year our trellis was maybe two feet tall and soon was toppled by our peas. So this year we decided 7 ft should do.
Snap peas coming along nicely.
Some left over welded wire from our chicken run makes a good trellis for sweet peas.
This year for our raspberry patch we used wire instead of twine. The twine couldn't hold the rows neat enough and made for some scratch filled harvesting. The rows are looking nice.
This picture makes me thing of Skuller's IPA ( a nice local ipa brewed at Skagit River Brewing). This is our golden hop trellis. We have 2 skulls mounted on bamboo sticks and one hanging for our hops to grow through this year.
