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.

That was one of the simplest, most concise, informative, friendly, pleasing videos about growing I've seen. I just put 2 cantaloupes in my garden on a whim and was like "what am I doing?". Now I know. Awesome! And Thank You.

Thank you for a straight forward vid Without an intro talking about unnecessary crap for 5 min & rambling about other crap that doesnt pertain to the title. Great vid. Thank you. Planting mine today.

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 never tried growing cantaloupe in my life so this will be my first year. Thank you for the detailed instructions. I wish myself my success.

I had a nice cantaloupe harvest in 2023.

Greetings from the Garden State! Cantaloupes love the climate in southern NJ. And as a dessert, Cantaloupe Turnovers are the best!

I'm currently growing cantaloupe solely bc of this video! It's just starting to turn yellow. I'm so excited!

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.

A cantaloupe seed started growing naturally in my garden! It has taken over my garden bed, I take it as a blessing because I LOVE CANTALOUPE! This is my first time gardening in my backyard, so I'm really excited for them to taste sweet once they ripen!

[AHandKnitLetter]

Thank you! This is my first year growing cantaloupe and I needed this. I was wondering how am I ever going to know when they’re ripe? Now, I know!

[stevenspencer]

Thank you, ma’am very much. Blessed my wife and I greatly!

[yeshathegardener]

Thank you for the information. I learned a lot. I planted cantaloupe for the first time in my garden this year and I’m so excited

My whiskey barrel compost bin elected some cantaloupe to volunteer I am now a proud owner of a melon I wasnt even expecting after so many discarded fruits and vegetables, thats just the power of love!

I directly sowed in two different locations (different soil comp) in my front yard beginning of July both look fantastic currently and I've got til November for frost so I'm hoping to see some this year

I'm able to grow cantaloupe in Northern Idaho. I just start the seeds two months before they go out, which is around June 15th.
