does anyone here have experience with _vertical_ methods for growing plants? I've seen a couple of examples at a local flower and garden show (some years ago) and they looked somewhat appealing as a method for getting more plants into a limited space.

@kara I usually grow cucumbers in tomato cages. I've heard of growing smaller melons like cantaloupe, cassava &c on trellises, but you'd probably have to support them in nets when they get big.

@KevinCarson1 by "vertical" I mean setups where the gardening bed or medium is itself vertical, e.g.

@Angle @KevinCarson1 oh thanks! a lot of food for thought here. some of the ideas are strictly ornamental but still, a lot of creativity here, thanks
