Growing vining vegetables takes a lot of space. If you don't have space you can use a trellis and grow them vertically! Vining veggies are heat lovers, so make sure to plant them in full sun. They also need rich, well-drained soil. Water consistently at the base of the plant (not on top of the leaves as that can lead to disease). When planting vining veggies, you need to plant them about 1" deep in little hills. Plant 4-6 seeds per hill and then as the seeds come up, thin to 3 plants per hill. If you're planting more than one hill, make sure to space them about 6-8' apart.
