“Anybody have any advice for going vertical?”
Espaliered fruit trees.
Lots of strong, south-facing trellises.
Rain gutters mounted to a wall. (Lord knows that ANY seedling from any tree or weed seems to LOVE to grow in mine!)
Topsy-turvey planters for tomatoes, peppers and herbs.
(Invest in a lot of rebar or look for ‘hog wire’ for really strong trellises.)
This was a neat idea - using hanging shoe organizers!

Yes! I’ve always wanted to espalier. Pears, plums, peaches, grapes. I like the classic candelabra pinning.
I have a lot of hogwire.
This going to be fun. I was dismayed at first, but thinking about espaliered fencing - not nailed to a wall - is encouraging.
