Can You Dig It is a new monthly series by Kristin Guy in which a real-life garden DIY is tackled with style. Whether you’ve got an expansive outdoor plot or just a few houseplants, Kristin will inspire you to grow even more with easy-to-accomplish projects and horticultural know-how.
Let’s talk about some gardening SOS I wish I’d learned back in my early growing days: trellising. It’s one of those things that can make or break your harvest yield—especially when it comes to those towering types of vegetables. If you’ve ever had a plant shift into hyperdrive overnight (I’m looking at you, indeterminate tomatoes and just about any runner bean), then you know that a quick top-heavy growth spurt—especially when loaded with veg—can cause your plant to flop over and even snap in half if unsupported. Not exactly something you want to experience after waiting months for those juicy beauties to ripen for your weekend Caprese. So I’m here to help you skip those missteps and get that plant prop in place on time.
