![]() While it may seem daunting initially, vertical cucumber farming is quite simple. It is a great way to maximize your space, but it’s also a fun and unique way to grow your food. ![]() This is what my garden looked like before pruning and staking.Are you an urban gardener looking for a new challenge of growing cucumbers vertically? Then vertical cucumber farming is the best option. I knew I would have to make some sort of climbing wall or trellis for the vines, but I wasn’t sure how I would do it. I am a kamikaze gardener plant first, correct later. It might be easier for some to research before planting, but that’s not how I roll. Like I have stated in previous posts, I am newbie gardener, so I am learning as I go. So much so, that I couldn’t get to my herbs by mid-summer. Last year, I knew nothing of squash and cucumber growth and those veggies produced vines that took over. Everything seems to be growing and now its time to make sure that my tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash grow neatly. My kickoff chore was to prune and stake my vegetable garden. So yesterday was the first official day of my unlazy days. I feel such a sense of accomplishment when I can look back at the list and see what I have completed. Around May, I am dying to get to my list. So, reorganizing my life in the summer sets me up for the rest of the year. Between a long hockey season (fall and winter) and a busy spring school calendar, we are rarely home on the weekends with nothing to do. Or, it could be something big like organize the garage, which seems to end up on the list every year. I put it in the Reminders app of my iPhone under the heading, “Summer To Do List.” It could be something as small as wiping the fingerprints off the ceiling in the basement (it would take two seconds and it bothers me all year, but I wait until summer to check it off). Throughout the year, I keep a running list of all the things I would like to get done around my house. Most people have spring cleaning, I have the Unlazy Days of Summer. ![]() Lazy days of summer? Not around here! Okay, so “unlazy” isn’t a word, but it describes my goal for the summer. ![]()
