Vertical Growing Cucumbers, Watermelons, Pumpkins, and Canteloupe

This year, we are growing our vine crops up a cage. This is a great space saving idea. Basically, the way my cages are built, the vine of any plant can get to be 8-10' before it ever hits the ground if trellised properly and supported. Even then, you can just feed the vines bag inside the cage. Below are some pics of our vertical grown crops.

Pumpkins...To Be Or Not To Be

Ok, so my wife wants to plant pumpkins again this year, but the problem is that they took up at least a third of the garden last year, mixed with cucumbers. If I can keep from planting pumpkins this year and grow my cucumbers vertically, then I should have more room for hot peppers. The pic is of one of the pumpkins that I grew last year. It was pretty big. I put a 2-Liter of Coke in the pic so you can get an idea of how big it was.
