I always like to pick up a new hobby in the summertime; a little craft or activity to throw myself into over the warmer months, and this year, I've finally decided to dig in and explore the world of gardening. And if I've learned one thing so far, it's that I've got a lot to learn.
One of the biggest learning curves I've had is just how much support some of my plants need. And I'm not just talking about words of affirmation and emotional support here; I mean literal, physical support. The issue is, though, that most traditional trellises require a wall for support, and since I chose to plant my veggie patch smack dab in the middle of the garden, that's not going to work. I could use regular bamboo supports, but I've found that they can be a tad too flimsy. Plus, as a novice gardener, I have no real idea of just how much more growth my plants have in them, and I don't want to commit to a tiny trellis, just for my cucumbers to outgrow it in a month's time. So, when I stumbled across this expanding, Expanding Freestanding Trellis Fence on Amazon, it was pretty much a no-brainer purchase.
