Welcome to the cuc experiment. :D I am trying to maximize my space by making cucs go UP instead of all over the ground. It started last year when I trellised the one cuc I grew and it worked perfectly... well this year, I am trellising 2 different kinds (green and Lemon) and then my small crookneck sqash too. I found delicatas (*GLEE*) squash (my favorite) as starts, so I added a couple of those to the far side.

Also in this bed I put my dill. Fennel and dill will cross polinate if you have them too close... so I put them on opposite sides of my yard.

Anyway... on to the pictures (I know you were on tinderhooks waiting)...

And here are my current flowers:

These are two varities of black currents... one sweet and one sour. They said that they would cross polinate and that it was a GOOD thing because it makes sweet big currents on both bushes. So that is what we are working for. :)

And the last pic... what do garden babies do when mamas working?
