Laurie, what marvelous trellises. I love the 'no string' technique, and also using the materials that you have on hand from your woodland.

All you melon growers are very brave, and I wish you good luck in your attempt. Every summer, I am regaled with my DH's watermelon stories from his childhood, so I am afraid I could not compete with such perfect melons from the watermelon capital of the world, Forestburg, SD. His grandfather would go there to get a pick up load of watermelons to sell off the tailgate. Of course all the grandkids would have their fill of juicy, sweet melons as well.
