Ramblers and vines

I have been watching my garden daily and to my wonder, there are so many vines and climbers and rambling plants that I have in my vegetable selection, I will have a bountiful harvest of squashes and cucumbers this winter. I have tried to grow cucumbers before with no success, so this one I am following like a hawk. The Butternut Squashes were successful last season, but I had so many of them stung by some pest! I have a new squash – the Hubbard squash! A newbie to my garden, so this one I am watching closely. Some of my vines have not done well – the grape vine started off looking strong and healthy, but slowly drooped with the nasty wind we have had everyday for weeks on end! This is very unusual this time of year, so everything looks dried out and all my plants need lots of watering!

What is climbing, rambling, creeping, trailing in your garden?
