But what if we started thinking about these “failures” as new flavor opportunities? One gardener’s flop is another’s feast after all.

Growing Vine Based Crops - Gardener's Path

Planting Vine-Based VegetablesOf all of the things that a gardener can choose to grow, vine crops are a popular choice.
Growing vine crops doesn’t have to be hard. And if you live an area where they do well, you can get yourself a nice crop of plants such as pumpkins, squash, watermelons, and cucumbers, just to name a few.
The first step that you need to take is preparing the soil. Getting off on the right foot is key with a successful garden for growing anything, and vine crops are not an exception.
The gardening tools that you will need to prep the soil for vine crops are going to be fertilizer and/or organic matter like compost, a plow or till to mix it into the pre-existing garden soil, and of course the seeds you intend to plant, as well as a hose or watering can to properly water and care for the vine crops.
Prepping the SoilThe first step in preparing the soil is to choose the area you intend to plant in.
Since vegetables that grow on vines take up a lot of space when they grow, you will want to train them to grow on to a trellis if you have limited space.

Test the SoilThe next step is very important, and is often something that eager gardeners want to skip. That is testing the soil to determine what kind and how much fertilizer it needs.
It is important to look at the phosphorus rating. If it is high, you’ll want to choose either low phosphorus or phosphorus-free fertilizer when you are preparing the soil.
Getting the wrong type of fertilizer, or one that is high in phosphorus when your soil is also, can result in phosphorus buildup in the soil. This can even lead to pollution of rivers, streams
