I spent a huge chunk of yesterday helping a friend transplant bits of his garden from his old house to his new house. We must have dug up at least forty irises and tons of peonies, marigolds, and various other plants. He was kind enough to split some of the clumps with me, and he’s planning to split me some white dutch irises that are already growing at his new place.

What’s growing on with you all?

    Well, I do have a couple stair rails with 550 cord strung between them to attempt to get them to climb. My wife is a bit afraid that the vines wont be able to support the weight of the squashes when they start coming in though.

      We’ve grown butternut and pumpkins on trellising with no significant weight issues - one or two huge guys that I cut off to cure elsewhere while the others kept growing, sure. If you’re doing cukes, zukes, or other summer or small squash you should be good to go though.
