Gardening season is almost here, can you believe it? I am counting down the days until I start planting my seeds. I can hardly stand it.
I was looking through photos last night of the trip I took to Kew Gardens last summer and came across photos of some quick cheap essay trellis ideas and wanted to share with you.
It’s no secret around here that I LOVE canning. I especially love growing tomatoes, not only to eat fresh, but to turn into jars of salsa, bruschetta and pasta sauce.
I’ve even been known to can green tomatoes {piccalilli and green tomato curry sauce!}.
And while I won’t be starting my tomato seeds until April 1st, that doesn’t mean I can’t dream of filling my vertical garden full of tomato plants.
Vertical gardening, that’s what our garden will be all about this summer and I’m super excited about it too.
After seeing all the different ways the gardeners at the Kew grew their tomatoes and pole beans I felt inspired and it made me feel like even though our gardening space here is really limited…
We’ll be fine. We’re still going to be able to grow a crazy amount of fresh veggies in the backyard.
So if you’re in the same boat I’m in {limited on space} I hope these pictures offer a bit of encouragement that it is possible to grow a ton of veggies in a small space.
And, that you don’t have to spend a fortune on it either.
My friend Jen and I both thought this trellis made from mesh fencing was clever. It would be perfect for vines!
Do you have any quick cheap easy trellis ideas? Please share if you do.
Gardening season… We’re nearly there!
