why did my cucumber jungle explode when i moved my trellis?

Last summer, I set up my arched trellis six feet apart in my raised bed. The cucumbers loved it, and I felt like a gardening wizard. But when I tried the same thing in my in-ground plot, the vines seemed lost. They sprawled everywhere, and I was crawling around just to pick a few. Turns out, spacing matters way more in the ground. The soil isn’t as loose, and the plants don’t climb as eagerly. I pulled the arches closer—about four feet apart—and suddenly, the vines shot up like they had somewhere to be. Harvesting got way easier, and my cucumbers looked happier too. Sometimes, a little tweak in setup makes all the difference. Watching those vines climb was the best part of my summer. #gardeningtips #raisedbeds #trellis #Gardening
