please tell me what this is..in my flower bed because it came up and is taking over
in a huge long vine..healthy with fruit coming on it..
If it is cantaloupe what do I do to take care of it till the cantaloupes are ready
in 16 weeks or when?
Do I need to have mulch under the tiny fruit as they grow to keep them from getting wet
dirt on the fruit when I water the perennial flowers around this vine and fruit on it?
thanks sheri in alabama
It does look like something in the squash/melon/cuke family, but fuzzy! Neat!
Depends on how wet your soil is, but something as simple as a bit of plywood on the ground might keep the fruit drier. If you are growing it on a trellis then nylon stockings make a good sling. They are strong, and they stretch as the fruit grows.
