YEEHAW!!! The square foot garden went vertical this week. That's right, I built a trellis to support the sugar snap peas and bush beans that were planted last week and are really taking off.
I worried the wire cages wouldn't be high enough for them so I constructed a 5 1/2 foot tall trellis out of:
2- 10 foot sections of 1/2 inch electrical conduit
2- 4 foot sections rebar
2- 1/2 inch PVC plumbing T connectors
1- Nylon vegetable netting (5' x 8')
It turned out great!

| 4 foot sections of rebar hold the posts up |

Well that's it for this update. Thanks for following along!
