Alright. It's happened again. I've found mind-blowing gardening tips and tricks over at Pinterest. A few years back for my birthday, my hubby made me a small raised rock garden in our little back yard. The next year, he added a second one along our fence line. We have loved experimenting and trying to grow things in our "small but mighty" garden. We love pretending we are farmers, or better yet, the Ingalls. One thing that grows for us really well... I'm talking maybe a bit too well, is zucchini. Some of the bounty from our mini garden - we grow our zucchini BIG around here. The only trouble with a thriving zucchini plant in a small garden - is space! The giant leaves spread out and take up a very large area of our tiny garden, making it a little harder to grow other kinds of veggies. Here's a shot of our garden last August. You can see the zucchini plants in the middle right behind the girls in the pool (between the corn and strawberries). It really takes OVER. The girls love tending our little garden. So the other night I was perusing Pinterest when I stopped dead in my tracks. Here was a revolutionary way to grow zucchini (and other summer squashes) in a smaller space. In a 2x2 space! What? I was so excited. Check it out. Picture by Jeff from the blog "Our Engineered Garden" By simply using an inverted (aka upside-down) tomato cage, you can train your zucchini leaves to grow straight up! This leaves the bottom of the plant (where the zucchini's grow) open and makes it easy to see the fruit growing. I can't tell you how many times we've pulled back a giant Jurassic sized zucchini leaf and found a gargantuan baseball bat sized tuber! This was our first giant surprise zucchini the first year of our garden. We were SHOCKED. This idea of growing vertical zucchini comes from Jeff over at the blog "Our Engineered Garden" (I had a link here, but the blog is no longer available). He has amazing gardening techniques I have not even finished reading all of his tips. The two pictures of the zucchinis in tomato cages posted are from his blog because we are trying this asap and don't have our own pictured results yet. But if it works, it will revolutionize our little garden space! Picture by Jeff at "Our Engineered Garden" This is going to be a great experiment. Apparently, you have to "train" the leaves daily to get them to grow the way you want them. We put our zucchini start in the ground yesterday and the upside-down tomato cage is in place. Have any of you done this before? Are any of you going to jump on the experimental band wagon and try this with me? By the way I forgot to mention it also works with a few other varieties of summer squash. I will dutifully report back to you on our progress throughout the summer. Oh and if you need a recipe to use all of this bountiful zucchini in, try our delectable baked zucchini fries recipe. Happy Gardening! UPDATE 2014!: We tried this little technique last year and it worked perfectly. The leaves grew up and it was so much easier to see the zucchini along the bottom, before they became giant bat-sized monstrosities. We have already set up our upside-down tomato cages for this years' plants. Hooray for an experiment that really worked great!
