Vine Crops for the Tennessee Vegetable Garden
If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
The term vine crops refers to garden plants in the family Cucurbitaceae. While we refer to them as vegetables, we actually eat the fruit of these crops, which differ in size, shape, color, days to harvest and nutrient content. All crops in this family are grown in Tennessee gardens as warm-season annuals. While most have a spreading growth habit (summer squash has a bush habit), an increasing number of more compact cultivar options are available.
