Watermelon Cantaloupe and Cucumber

Should I trellis cucumbers?

Trellising cucumbers has several advantages. The fruit are straight, have no ground spot, and are not subject to belly rot. Belly rot is the most limiting factor in cucumber production in Mississippi. Preliminary trials at the Beaumont station show trellising may also extend the harvest season. The disadvantages of trellising have to do with the expense of erecting and maintaining the trellis.
