We had a lot of feedback from viewers when we first started growing cantaloupe and watermelon plants on a trellis. They were concerned that the fruit would be too heavy as it hung from the vines on the trellis and those were reasonable concerns! Fortunately we had a plan to help make it all work. Check out this video to see our solution!

Cantyhammies!! Cute! Will definitely try this! Thanks for the video!
You have given me so many ideas. I am going to try some of the ways you've grown and secured your melons. Maybe next try I will do better. Again thanks for the awesome information.
Too cute…looks like a baby carrier!! Your melons look great!! Thanks for the info…I was one of the "concerned" folks…I'd never seen melons growing on trellis' before…cool idea now I might have room to grow some too.
Good video!
What a great idea! That would save a ton of space growing them on trellis.
Hi Lance and Marci! I have some beautiful melon plants growing on a vertical trellis and they have lots of male flowers but very few females. Any ideas for what to use to fertilize them to get some fruit growing and to get some female flowers and fruit to set? I have used a straight 5-5-5 but I think they might need something that gets the fruits to grow. I hope you have ideas!
Good job of using what you have!
Glad to see the melons getting the support they need. 🙂
I'm putting those 2 recipes in the mail tomorrow. Enjoy.
