Well, one thing about the article is that if you decide to plant vined veggies - cucumbers - squash or even cantaloupes and watermelons, you'd better have a LOT of room. I've been picking fresh cucumbers and tomatoes for the past few weeks.

He is correct about potatoes. I remember when we grew them on the farm. We used about 100 yds of a field terrace and had several rows. We could get a pickup load from about 50 lbs of seed potatoes.

We also used terraces for growing melons, cucumbers and cantaloupes. One row close to the top and let the vines grow down each side.

I am absolutely GREEN with envy!

I'm going to try trellising some of my vine veggies this year -- cukes and summer squashes.

I'd love to hear more about that.
