early morning trellis

events well beyond my control dictated an early trip out to campus...i arrived at the community garden around six this morning to find the cucumber beginning to vine...i had wanted to get them off the ground...mostly because it looks neat...so i put n posts for a trellis aligned with the centers of the plants and strung some jute twine along them a few inches above the plants to provide a starting point...we can add another horizontal row or two of twine as the season progresses and connect them vertical strands to allow plenty of room for vines...the plants in my back yard have already found the vertical posts i put in out there and it won't take long for these to latch on...if they fill in well there will be a wall of vines, leaves , and blossoms...looking forward to that.
