I'm sorry, I said tomatoes (I'll correct my post above before I confuse others.), but I meant to say I'm planting the petunias with my squash and cucumbers. 'Fire Chief' and 'Rainmaster' will be planted on the ground with my 'Early Prolific Straightneck' squash and 'Old-Fashioned Climbing' and 'Balcony Petunia' will be clipped to the trellis with the cucumbers ('Boston Pickling' from A.P. Whaley, 'Beth Alpha' and 'Picollo di Parigi' from Franchi Seeds). Again, sorry for the confusion. Claud
