I am using a tomato cage, but kind of deconstructed. So instead of forming a square, it's forming an M in the ground. I can then nestle first my cucumber plant (which produced like crazy before getting some sort of disease) and now six sugar peas and they have lots of directions they can reach out in to support themselves. I planted three peas a couple weeks ago that are already 4" tall and hugging the cage. Just planted three more today. All mine have germinated.

Here is my ‘unique’ trellis system. Wreath hanging stands from funerals. They are sturdy, and fold up for storage. 😁
I’m going to try that 💡
Oh that’s a good idea!!!
I'm sorry, what are funerals?
Great tips! I use 3-4 bamboo stakes and netting for support and pest protection from the birds that took out your sunflowers.

Good idea🤔 a squirrel decided to ravage my sunflowers tops and corn! I gota find a snap pea that grows tall.
Absolutely love this idea! Thank you!!
It’s so much fun to have a living trellis!

Great idea! I have sunflowers in my vegetable garden. I am going to try this.
Let me know how it works out for you!!
Awesome
Having one of those “why didn’t I think of that” moments 🤣
The moment I was about to pull the sunflowers while looking for a trellis was when it clicked 🤣
@@ChicagoGardener I can see it perfectly in my head 🤣
Thanks 🌻
