A sure way to increase the efficiency of your garden space is to grow highly productive vining crops and support them on a trellis.

Some vines climb by spiraling around supports and twining around any object small enough to embrace. Others have short tendrils that cling to supports and, if trained, occasionally will grow up alongside a post or within a cage.

Others are so heavy and have so few tendrils that they need frequent training. If left to their own devices, these plants would lie about on the ground.

The climbing habits of a vine determine the support needed. Climber or twiner plants include pole or runner beans, asparagus beans and most of the flowering vines. Clingers include tall varieties of green peas, gourds, sweet peas, and cucumbers. The heavy vining vegetables include cantaloupes, pumpkins, squash and watermelon.
