It’s time to tack up the trellising, a fixed indicator of summer on the cusp of full swing. Within days of being transplanted, the cucumbers saunter skyward and tilt on their thickening stems. Like a tipsy friend, they reach for support to steady their way. Once anchored, they soar to the sun-kissed ceiling. They simply needed a hand getting started. The tendrils will take it from here.
