Okay gardening gurus! We have built this trellis but of course the cucumbers are growing over it now. I’ve read about topping them… I’ve read about making the vines go back down. Any suggestions form you guys would be great!

have you considered wiring the top so it can serve as a trellis as well? this way your cucumber vines could just grow overtop and loop back around

That’s a great idea! Thanks!

I do not know where you live but your cucumber leaves are perfect. Do you have fruit yet?

I appreciate that. Unfortunately I got pickle worms, so all my plants are dead.
