Is your gardening space to small? Then go vertical!
the Skyscraper garden is a sturdy trellis that attaches to a wall, fence, or any upright to give you a vertical gardening space. Use it for any vine crops like:
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Zuchini
- Beans
You can plant lettuce cabbages and other crops around the base to really maximize your gardening space.
Another plus is that planting against a wall may extend your gardening season. The wall can provide shelter from winds, and will absorb heat during the day, radiating it back onto your garden plants at night.
The Skyscraper Garden Trellis is strong enough to suppport your plants right through harvest. It has cedar brackets holding a 50″ steel rod that can support 100 pounds! The trellis has 5.5” x 6” openings, making it easy to harvest fruit, and the netting will last for 5 years. And look how attractive it is when fully planted:

Living on a farm, we have plenty of garden space but not as much time to look after a large garden plot. I always plant some of my ‘underground’ vegetables’ and ‘above-ground’ vegetables in rows together. Radishes will flourish perfectly well with lettuce, for example. You just need to take a little extra care when thinning both of them, or when harvesting the radish so you do not dislodge the roots of the plants left in the row. I don’t mix all vegetables up like this. Potatoes, for instance get their own space.
A little tip regarding thinning – save what you pull and eat as microgreens. The small shoots are bursting with flavour and nutrients.
