Tip #1 - Moles
Moles have been mowing through my garden for two years now. Last year they ate little rows in all of my cucumbers and this year they chewed my lettuce down to the nubs. So, I bought a few pinwheels on Memorial Day for a couple dollars and placed them throughout; especially near the veggies they seem to enjoy the most. At this point there has been no damage since installation! The vibrations apparently scare them away. Try it and save your garden from these pesky critters.
Tip #2 - Cage
Want to have more space for plants? Grow your cucumbers up a cage/fence/lattice. Whatever you choose, the cucs will climb up and still produce a healthy harvest.
Tip #3 - Grow grapes along your garden fence

Garden Update!
After moving the vines to an area with better soil (less water retention) and more sunlight we have grapes! The vines are beautiful spread out on the garden lattice and you can't beat edible decoration. Curious how this garden was started? Check out this post!
