Plants supports are immensely useful if your garden is small and you want to make full use of every square of soil. Many vegetables that like to sprawl can be trained onto supports to allow you to use vertical space, plant more intensely, and find the fruits of your labour more easily (rather than digging in a jungle of greenery for that those swelling green zuchinni!). The usual suspects of peas, tomatoes, flowers, eggplants and squash do well on supports. West Coast Seeds has a wide variety of plant supports, bamboo, aluminum wire cages, tomato ladders and specially frames for cucumbers, squashes.
