So you’ve got a nice garden, and you’ve decided that you would like to have a garden trellis in your garden. The question that arises then is what types of vegetables should you grow? Certain vegetables thrive on a trellis, so picking the right ones can make all the difference in raising a successful garden.

The first, and most obvious choice for growing on a garden trellis is a variety of beans. Known as pole beans, these types of beans are commonly seen on trellises. Why do people like to grow them so much? Because they have long seasons and can get to tremendous heights, growing up to fifteen feet. They also require the least amount of work with the trellis, making them offer a ton of payoff.

Other successful choices for a garden trellis include tomatoes and peppers. Both of these can be caged or set up in a trellis and they work great. They typically don’t vine much and will grow straight on the trellis making them low risk for your purposes.

Finally, when it comes to other odds and ends that do well on garden trellises, you have a lot of choices. Cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, and melons all do well on trellises.
