Fruit on a vine

Trained up netting or canes, vining fruits like melons, watermelons and exotic passion fruit make the most of vertical space and keep their fruit off the ground. Many are warmth-loving crops for under cover.

Growing climbing fruit from seed

Sow warmth-lovers indoors in spring, pot on, and plant out into rich soil once it's reliably warm. Give them a sturdy support to climb, feed and water generously while growing, then ease off as the fruit ripens.
