Too often my squash as well as other plants wind up rotting on the ground, especially after too much rain. And if it makes it easier on the back, I'm all for it!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109912811499316570.post-62769975688974803902008-09-13T15:47:00.000-05:002008-09-13T15:47:00.000-05:00I'd like to grow cucumbers vertically.
