Grow Squash, Cucumbers and Melons Vertically

If you are planning to plant cucumbers, melons, or squash in your vegetable garden this year, think vertically!

The main thing you want avoid are any varieties that are labeled or marked “Bush Variety” because those won’t climb properly.

Look for a “Vining Variety” because you’ll want to make sure it can climb your trellis, stake, or netting properly.

Here are some standard varieties that will do well:


Winter Squash:
Hubbard
Acorn
Butternut

Summer Squash:
Straight
Crook Neck
Patty Pan

But NOT Zucchini! For some reason zucchini is too heavy and won’t vine properly up a pole or netting.

Cucumbers:
Any that are vining type

Melons:
Cantaloupe
Muskmelon
Watermelon
