Can you or have you ever grown Honey Dew melons on a trellis? I realize they would need to be supported some how, I suppose. But has anyone ever tried here?
Honey Dew on a trellis?
Ive grown mine on a trellis for the past two years. I thought I would have to make a sling for them but never became necessary.
Cool, thanks steadycam3!
I grew Charantais melons on a cattle panel. I did take mesh type onion sacks and sling them from the cattle panel with "S" hooks. Just make sure your trellis is sturdy enough to support the weight of the melons. Good luck!
Thanks podster! I was thinking of using stockings or something of that nature. I have some burlap that may do the trick. Now I need to build the structure and get these darn things planted.
Yes... I'd use what I had laying around, even old pantyhose should work fine. Wishing you success!
Wondering if Dean has pantyhose lying around.....
LOL! It's been so long since I've seen them. My wife may have a few some where. Thanks for the laugh!
LOL ~ I actually did think of that when I posted it... but then I'm not sure I even have any laying around anymore.
Now if someone grews this biggie on a fence then a honeydew should be no problem course the pumpkin stem is a lot stronger ,,With some if not all melons the stem turns loose when they become ripe
Now that's a neat picture thanks for sharing.
The pumpkin was located in Cedarville Ca. a tiny little town in Modoc County the barn had this wonderfull look so I just had to stop for the pic as you can see in the second pic it is a very large barn
I hope no one walks out that door! LOL
Another pic that should be entered in the photo contest.
That is a neat old barn. I really like the look of the wood.
DW says she is miffed because no one mention the beautiful model in the pic LOL
I was going to mention the lovely lady standing in front of the barn.
