Message: [QUOTE="Meadowlark, post: 280176, member: 7117"] By going vertical, I meant to train the climbing plants, e.g. cucs, peas, and beans (pole), to grow vertically on a trellis/support. Examples of trellis below to give you some ideas: [ATTACH type="full"]107719[/ATTACH] The first one is a tomato cage that can be used for any climbing plant and behind it is a cattle panel trellis for ideas. [ATTACH type="full"]107720[/ATTACH] I would just fill the open space around the berries with the onions. Check out this recent thread for different varieties of strawberries. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gardening-forums.com/threads/what-variety-of-strawberries-to-plant.32644/#post-277859[/URL] That'll work. Yes, but don't overcrowd. Yes and/or plant as you have time and seed/plants available. Composted organic matter makes the best, safest soil amendments. I do not use chemical fertilizer or pesticides or fungicides or whatever on veggies I plan to consume...but its dealers choice. Glad to help. Be sure to check on last frost date for your area. Tomatoes and peppers especially don't like cold...however you can start them from seed indoors whenever and transplant as appropriate. Don't plant out until the danger of frost has passed in your area. [/QUOTE]
