Going up
Make use of dead vertical space with edibles that reach for the skies. French and runner beans, squash, tomatoes, and cucumber will all grow vertically. Plant them in generous-sized pots with a trellis, wigwam or wall to climb, and tie in the stems as they shoot upwards. For juicy autumn fruits, train a thornless blackberry, such as ‘Loch Ness’, over an arch or post – it will produce berries even in partial shade. Cultivate an outdoor vine, such as ‘Brandt’, on wires or along a balcony railing and, once established, you can have your own grape harvest.
