What fruit and veg can I grow vertically?

This includes the likes of climbing beans, climbing peas, vine tomatoes and the cucurbits: cucumbers, melons, squashes, pumpkins, gourds and sprawling types of courgette. If you’re reading this in a warmer part of the world you can add sweet potatoes to this list.

Why the plants are grown vertically?

Vertically-grown garden plants are less likely to fall prey to insects and the resultant damage that can occur. Since the vegetable plants are grown upright, more of the leaves are exposed to sunlight, air, dew, and rain. Therefore, your vertically-grown plants should be healthier and produce better crops for you.
