    When growing cantaloupe or other melons on a trellis, I’ve been using my extra COVID masks as hammocks to keep them them from falling off too early or splitting the vines. The blue surgical masks work great & can sometimes last 2 seasons.

    My grandma had a technique where she'd grow a healthy main vine and then grow a single cantaloupe on a vine at a time and vigorously prune it, I think it worked best for her because we are in a colder environment.

    I’ve found the best variety here in Denver CO is Sugar Cube. Small (not mini) fruits on vines that are extremely resistant to powdery mildew. I grow vertically & plant into the east side of an A-frame trellis, with sweet potatoes on the west side, providing some afternoon shade.

    This is my first year growing cantaloupe and I completely forgot to look it up. I have one lonely small one on my vine I can only guess the others didn't get pollinated. I didn't know it could be a climber so I will do that next year since I have limited garden space! Plus, it'll be easier for me to see them! Now I know what to look for as well on when it'll be ripe.

    I'm growing sugar baby watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe on one wire and metal structure with jute ropes that the vines can climb up from the raised bed they're in. Ive been frantically making larger hammocks or slings out of mesh produce nets for the rapidly swelling fruits to support them so I was shocked to see the cantaloupe happily hanging there unsupported without issue 🤣
    Probably don't need to baby it as much as it did, I'll experiment if any more fruit set with not putting them in a sling/net. Great video thank you!!

    Wow! That was a great video. This is my first year growing cantaloupe here in Florida, and I admit to. Lot of uncertainty. Thank you for all the info and great tips. Now, I feel more confident about my fruit.
