Growing Up



I live in a small house on a small city lot. Although I try to use the space I have to the best of my ability, sometimes I find that I just don't have enough. Space that is.

One way to solve this dilemma is to put that ugly chain link fence to good use. Since I know that when I plant gourds in the vegetable garden they tend to travel from one end of the garden to the other I decided this year to try growing this aggressive plant up the chain link fence that separates my yard from the neighbors. It didn't take long for a couple of seeds to cover the fence and soon I will have some nice ornamental gourds for fall display.

So if you run out of space like me, and you have a fence available, put it to work. You'll be glad you did!
