Now I know. It ain't easy! (But I do feel bad as I step and trounce on vines, flowers, and cucs as I'm making my way through. And those little cucumber voices ("Ow! Ouch! Eeeek! Yikes!") bother me. ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-23548116501358245222010-08-04T07:29:41.358-05:002010-08-04T07:29:41.358-05:00And to think I've been lamenting not providing...And to think I've been lamenting not providing something for my cucumbers to climb on. :oLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-25808333397217665262010-08-03T17:35:43.303-05:002010-08-03T17:35:43.303-05:00Apple Pie Gal - Aw, come on!

I don't think we could ever consume that many pickles in a year anyway with just the two of us...so there will be NO double sided trellis in my future regardless. Now the <i>peas</i> are another story for next year!

I don't envy you in that mess, I had to hack away half of my cucumbers because I planted them too close to my Roma tomatoes, and in that battle, the tomatoes will always be a priority, they are the lifeblood of the pantry in winter while the cucumbers are well, just pickles LOL! Was it Apple Pie Gal that was going to investigate the double sided planting? - oh not so fast, huh?
