Melons/cucumbers up rose arches?
« on: April 15, 2007, 10:04:24 »
I replaced two rose arches yesterday, the £4.99 Wilko jobbies, that lasted 5 years.  The bottom rungs had rusted badly, if I take them off and re-erect at the plot they will be about four feet high. Can I train melons and cucumbers up them?  ???
If I ever get it all right - then that's the time to quit.
