This is so underrated in the garden 👌 Edible Climbers 🌿
Tuesday Tips
Hey Reader,
One thing that I think is so underrated is the ability to grow up 👆 maximising space and doubling the amount of food you can grow in each garden bed or container. Today I am going to share a list of edible climbers to grow in your garden and utilise vertical space. Plus they can even create protection and shade.
There are many different types of climbers that grow as annuals or perennials. Annuals will allow you to still change up your garden beds each season and have the flexibility of space. Whereas perennials (grow for longer that 2 years) will allow you to get a crop established and provide long term protections and food. Both are great!

Annual Climbers 🌿
Note: Annuals and perennials can be different for each of our climates. Some areas have cold winters which mean the plants die off completely each year and need to be replanted. These are just some of the annuals you can grow up! There are many more.
🌿 Beans
🌿 Peas
🌿 Cucuzza
🌿 Bottle Gourd
🌿 Cucumber
🌿 Melons
🌿 Pumpkin /Squash
