  • now if I can just get my husband to watch this cause I don't do power tools.

  • I also grow vertically. I have the garden master's bucket garden that is about 4' wide x 8' long x 6' high. I had some watermelon last summer. Vertical gardening is great!

  • Do any experienced gardeners know if growing cucumbers or any other fruit / veggi vertically alters their growth in anyway

  • @SocialistDemocracy...yes, I have found that it does. This past year I planted only 6 standard cucumber plants and then made a trellis for them. Most of the plants were trained to go up the trellis except for one, which I allowed to grow along the ground. I got awesome fruit from the parts that went up the trellis but the part on the ground did not bear much fruit and it was a lot smaller. Hope this helps!

  • @persafe1 interesting... it was helpful, thanks for the replying

  • love this...thank you. Keep up the good work.

  • I love this vedio Miss.... I hope you have more to come.... REEMO :) Be well 

  • It's a rare treat to learn valuable skills from someone who is also very easy to listen to and look at! A match made in heaven!

  • We have several climbing veggie plants growing and love them. Spinach, Cucumber...etc. Unfortunately we are limited to how much we can grow because we live in a condo. Thanks for sharing...love your garden :)

  • if you liked this video, check the one out at my channel.

  • patti you are awesome ,!!!!!only one thing.... music was to loud to listen your lovely voice

  • very well , but music is useless..

  • train crops like pets

  • Go To Lisa's Garden for Flowers and Vegetables.

  • Show us your tits Patti

  • @equalityliving why don't open the mammary gland forum by setting a good example? i'm sure patti wouldn't mind getting flashed with some quality flesh. let's see what you've got baby!

  • @loytube1 If mine were any good I wouldn't be asking to see Patti's.

  • I dont even have room for this. I have 2 tomatoe plants growing vertically, some corn in 1 gallon bu kets each( very small) 2 watermellon plants in 5 gallon buckets( is that big enough for the roots) Indoors is cool, I have zome tomatoes growing under 2 150 watt hps lamps. THEY WORK. GREAT. I use FF soil and GH nutrients. hydro store hase some great stuff for veggies

  • Wow I never knew that you could grow pumpkin vertically. Thank you so much for this information. Really good stuff!

  • Garden Girl, you do city folks proud...

  • Love your vid!!! Thanks for all the info, just when I needed it. You are totally awesome!

  • Doesn't the weight of the melon cause a problem? Like pulling down the entire vine of just too heavy for it's stem?

  • hey this is a great idea!!! I love it.

  • u kick ass , i will be creating one of those vert wiring thingy majiggers for my watermelon and cantelope

  • omg i did not know pumpkins were vines! now i can save a lot more space!!! :P thank u :P

  • Thanks, Patti! I have some heirloom beef steak tomatoes that I've just transplanted, and I'm sure they are going to need some vertical help like you built. How far back from the base stalk of the plant do you recommend setting the trellis?

  • i used this for my cannabis plants and it made a big difference in my yield

  • brilliant!!!! i told my husband it could be done!!!! thxx so much!!!

  • loookin good Garden gal! Cant wait to start my garden now! vancouver island bc is the perfect climate for it!

  • thanks for the video's and ideas. I live in Holland Europe and because of your inspirating vids now I have a veggetables garden too! We cal it a "volkstuin" , like "common people garden" a piece of land that you can hire for a very low price, I pay 55 m2 for about 55 dollar a year!! It is 2 min from my home.

  • This is fabulous & it keeps cukes from rotting and squash etc. shaped nicely. Thanks for the great video.

  • What happens to a 40 pound pumpkin on a trellis - SPLAT. Think it through. No watermelons and pumpkins vertically. Use a horizontal plane trellis

  • @agraman1 It's fine to grow pumpkins and watermelons vertically as there are plenty of varieties that aren't near 40 lbs. You can tie stockings around the fruit and to the vertical structure to support the fruit.

  • Garden Girl Rocks!! My garden is so awesome since I found you... thank you, thank you, thank You!!

  • Do you have a video on how to build these vertical supports?

  • I just found you via a search for "indoor gardening" in general...I just wanted to let you know, you are a great inspiration! Thanks so much for sharing.

  • Can u come to jamaica with me and teach me how to do all this???

    :)

    I love your place!!

  • this is EXACTLY what i needed! i love, love, love your videos and information. thank you so much!

  • Your videos are some of my favorites. Loved the seed tape idea. The information in your videos is presented in such a nice clear manner, love your videos. I have just made 10 new beds 10x4 so I am looking for ideas, the beds run beside a chain link fence so plenty of opportunity for climbers

  • Pattyi Love your videos, Great ideas, Maybe you can show us how you use the worm bin castings in your garden or in potting. Your tomatoes are out of this world. You never answered the question I believe are they planted from seed or a starts? Who are some of your seed suppliers? It is obvious that you get quailty seeds and supplies!

  • Pattyi Lov eyour videos, Great ideas, Maybe you can show us how you use the worm bin castings in your garden or in potting. Your tomatoes are out of this world. You never answered the question I believe are they plant from seed or a start?

  • What type of soil do you use to grow your raised plater garden?

  • Hello everyone ! My name is Kevin and i wanted to come on here to tell yall that i have started a world first business that collects 100% pure rainwater & puts in the 30- 50 gallon drums for sale ! i live in Mobile Alabama where it rains more then any other place in the Uniter States thus i can have the unique business of selling actual 100% pure rainwater . Tap water/well water cannot compare to what pure rainwater can do with its perfect ph balance.Google South Alabama Water Supply & come see

  • i love ideas like this, i am thankful that you share this with others, keep up the good work

  • you look like you might be oprahs daughter

  • @ocoolwow haha i thought the same thing bro

  • Vertical pumpkins! Cool.

  • Patti I love your videos.my question is,are the tomatoes in this video heirloom organic?.Also,did you , did start them off from seed?

  • Love the videos, great show 

  • Hi Patti, Have you thought of looking at more current sustainable growing which allows you to grow year-round regardless of where you live? How about lowering overhead and producing your current production on one tenth the acreage. Not till, no weeds, no expensive equipment and bountiful harvest! I speak from forty years of commercial experience. Come visit us! I look forward to seeing you! The Garden Master and his Bucket Garden. TheGardenMaster com

  • What the? You said lemme teach you how to make it. then you just skip that's crap.

  • You are so beautiful! Are you single?

    By the way, when you show how to build a vertical support I would have liked a slower demo with instructions. I wasn't sure how you built it.

  • I grow plants vertically, and I keep them from frying in the sun with some spotshading parasols I found on shadedot.com. You just stick them in the pots and they perfectly filter the sun to give my tomatoes and other food plants the right amount of light during the hottest time of day. I love them. I place mosquito netting over them to tent my plants so I no longer have to use pesticides or any poisons to keep bugs of my plants. It's great, and they're not expensive.

  • OMG vertical watermelon, who would have though

  • I've heard cattle panels work good too....4' by 16' at Tractor Supply

  • Great video

  • I think I am developing a crush on patty

  • wish me luck, i bought a full grown mini tomato plant and i bought tomato seeds and cucumber seeds. lol I have one ripe tomato so far on the plant. only been a week for the seeds though.

  • PLEASE LET'S US BE THE SOLUTIONS THAT WE CAN BE. THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO

  • Do u have any problems with pollinating? I tried hand pollinating with no sucess. What do u suggest. I NEED HELP. lol

  • auesome video, lets get gardening

  • done lots of this 20 years ago

  • very nice

  • How much space does a big heirloom tomato plant need, if you grow it vertical?

  • How much space does a big heirloom tomato plant need, if you grow it vertical?

  • wow, unlimited near free new dog kennels spring up, free left over goat fencing around the house with no goats! like the immaculate conception! How fortuitous! She is truly blessed by miracles. How dare anyone say watermelon & pumpkins will rip the vines off fencing as they would in a normal persons garden! Physics clearly doesn't apply in miracle garden! where free stuff appears when brand names mentioned, that would make gardening for you cost many x more than going to the store for veggies.

  • garden girl, you are my hero! I've been gardening for over 35 yrs. and I have learned so many new ideas from watching you!

    thank you and keep the videos coming.

  • Thanks a lot for the subtitles, it makes it more easy to comprehend!

  • She looks like that female cop from the show "Manhunters".

  • I'd hit it.

  • This technique becomes extremely helpful when one may or may not have a plethora of useless dead bodies that one may or may not have accumulated over the years.

  • great hair, really wonderful look, nice language, healing yet fun adventurous music, Work With The Voice 10% More, Nice Name Garden Girl : ) , best wishes with the show!

  • yes really great hair do you know what kind of fertilizer she uses?

  • i use powdered rock dust from Canadian glaciers mountains.. once you have this others are obsolete.

    and i am a entertainer, even more than a gardener...so i relate to making the stage grow before all else in this clip

  • I love your report. I live out on a farm with over 16 acres and I love to grow UP rather then all over. These are great techniques to share.

  • Aren't pumpkins and watermelons too heavy to hang from a vine? I can understand cucumbers hanging from a vine that's on a fence, but a big old pumpkin or watermelon? Won't that just fall off or drag down the vine?

  • I remember reading something about the vines being strong and thick enough to hold them.. something like they thicken and strengthen as the melon gets bigger.. something like that.

    I would worry more about the strength of the support.. She is using a dog kennel for the heavy stuff. Which is a cool idea really.

  • @LitCrit101 Actually I've grow a 5 pound pumpkin just holding to the vine. (I'm even showing it in my lastest vid) And it totally grew without touching the ground =)

  • if it looks as if it is going to grow too large to support itself you can always attach a fabric hammock to the support structure and the fruit can sit in that.

  • I though you were going to show how to make the trellis, you use the drill, but how do you put it together?

  • why dont people just live off the land instead of covering the world in concrete. Makes no sense. we can live for free of the land without money but they choose live with inorganic methods. its like the government have robbed us of our land and forced us to obey their empire of destructions. every garden that is in you're house is just artifical and is just soil that has been dumped by a bulldozer unaturally. humans just make hard work for themselves. a proud history gone down the drain

  • well, this is a good way the back in the path again, today is a garden in your roof, tomorrow could be a cottage in the fields

  • @14CPO sadly I agree =S

  • love the videos, but the music is sometimes too loud.

  • love that last quick trellis.

  • Dam I want a garden girl...wow...I think she's Peurto Rican maybe ...

  • I have something eating holes thru the middle of my tomatoes! What should I do?

  • you r 1 smart lady. u married?

  • What is missing is actually educating people on hanging plants upside down on fences, beams & other strong support systems. I have tomato plants in a sealed canvas bag hanging through the bottom, needs lots of water!! seems to grow faster than hydroponics perhaps because the plant doesn't struggle growing against gravity. The Stock is almost 3 times thicker than the scrawny ground plants as well.

  • do you get good pumpkins? i thought they needed to have ground warmth under them to produce well.

  • Nice vid! Good series

  • Seriously! Patti, you're my new best friend. I haven't felt this inspired in YEARS! YOU GO GARDEN GIRL!!

  • Great ideas, but I do wish that when she said she'd show us how she made these that she actually showed us. Maybe the video has been shortened and that part got deleted. Oh, well. I'll figure it out. Thanks for the ideas!

  • Excellent video! The world is 3D, the garden too! Come check the videos from the Montreal Permaculture Guild!

  • This is great! I might have to change it up a little for my garden, but I love the idea! My one question is, what variety of pumpkin and watermelon are you growing n these? I am assuming the smaller varieties so it won't pull it down? Or are they pretty resilient?

  • also, in addition to the pieces of wood on the side is there one across the top?

  • I grew watermelons last year on a standard wooden trellis. They were a variety called sugar baby which are about the size of a cantaloupe and are incredibly sweet. They are the expensive ones that you can find in the grocery stores.

  • Here we have another example of getting so much out of the plants we grow by simply using the space available. I'm in the ruburbs, but have little sunny space. So, UP WE GO!

  • Mademoiselle, if you don't mind my asking, how tall should the vertical support be for cucumbers?  I want to try this next spring.

  • your husbands lucky he can sit aound the house and watch football while patti does the yard work and house repairs lucky guy

  • Thank you so much for posting. Makes gardening look like a lot of fun.

  • she is inspirational for all of us who are a little lazy she gets you motivated because i love gardening iam in too compost tea right know

  • Hi

    I really enjoy, seeing how to do the different things in the garden, and your vertical garden is fab

    Thanks

  • Fantastic Videos, great to see you actually doing, and building vertical growing spaces, chicken tractors ect. These videos should be shown on the UK Permaculture Design Courses. Excellent thanks for posting

  • i think your vid's are great ! i also must do it all vertical ..here in town ..

    (after a formidable veggie operation in the mountains )

    use bamboo trellis & it holds heavy weight ..although don't let them get too big ....

    can't do the super heavy big squash but it's ok .....

    i built raised beds in a cement courtyard where there was just garbage ....

    ..

  • Excellent Patti... keeping the fruit off the ground must also avoid those flat spots and limit ground rot? You've given me some great new ideas! I'm so trapped by my own horizontal thoughts ("> another five star vid!

  • I never would have thought you could grow pumpkins and watermelon vertically. Any idea what the weight limit would be? Is it only for smaller varieties?

  • I have grown very heavy fruit, I haven't found the limit yet.

  • @GardenGirltv I've heard to grow melons vertically you should support them with a stocking or a hammock of some sort... do you find this is not needed?

  • Love the video! Makes me feel lazy about not putting up my trellises yet. What did you use between the 2x1/2s for the peas? It may work well for my peas and cukes. Thanks!

  • Its left over goat fencing.

  • Great video on vertical gardening. I have been undecided about growing some pie pumpkins vertically -- but now I have just made the decision that I'm going to give it a try :-) Also I really liked your vertical trellis and how it can be moved from one bed to another.

    Thanks again for the videos!

  • Awesome!  I built a grape and passion fruit spa gazebo. Looks great, and produces lots of good food to eat!

    You rule, Garden Girl!

  • also the passion flower vine makes very good medicine ...sleep ...shingles etc ....

  • Thats awesome =) Thank you...I am growing pumpkins this year, I would have thought them too big to grow upwards... =)

  • Thanks - this is a great show!

    Thought the dog kennels seem like expensive over kill!

  • Found them at a yardsale! Practically free!

  • good stuff!

  • @GardenGirltv

    Way to go garden girl, sounds like me.

  • Thanks for posting.

  • Great video with some wonderful ideas!
