Would you ever consider watering in a molasses mix?

[@jamestabi2032]

great video ! I have collected some cantaloupe seeds ( not common in South Asia where I live) but I love it. Now it is plantation time ! thanks again !

[@running4kabob]

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.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Thank you! Best of luck to you!

[@majormuscles1]

Totally agree all substance and no unnecessary chatter. Great video!

[@nellieroman3505]

This video was AWESOME!

[@lowlowlina]

Agreed! I threw some seeds around from a cantaloupe I left on the counter for too long and so many sprouted! I am very happy to just grow anything but now I can actually give it a shot. Thank you!!

[@Namunyak96]

I completely agree! I took a whole page of notes! I learned so much and am grateful to have found this channel. ❤😊

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.

[@trollbbqer1267]

👍Great repurposing!

[@leslieh4899]

Oh I have a box full of these left over! Just spotted my first canteloup that was grown from a previous canteloupe seed in the ground and trellised up the fence! TY

[@jenniferrobinson4672]

Great idea! I used pantyhose 😂

[@mkawayoshi]

What a great idea. Got so many of those masks lying around and need support for my melons very soon…

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

Interesting, that is the only valuable use for those masks.

[@ChaingunCassidy]

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.

[@rulerofthelight]

I think it works best becuase it's the best way to do it. Pruning is essential.

[@mirandaryan6491]

I have about a dozen cantaloupe growing out of my compost pile right now.

[@blacksinglemomhomesteadont6454]

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.

[@saltystone103]

I made all the mistakes last year so now I am ready.

[@GBR1111-x2t]

well, how'd you do on it ?

[@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

[@jennhoff03]

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

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Wonderful!

[@145FREE]

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

[@kathleenosullivan8601]

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.

[@green08green08green]

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!

[@chucklutter2509]

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!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Cantaloupe makes it easy on us. Watermelon on the other hand... much tricker! Best of luck to you!

[@jwkill21]

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

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!

[@GibbsJaneAnne]

Thanks for mentioning seed varieties. I like to grow the ones that have proven themselves in low desert.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Sure.

[@amel2784]

Thank you for this. I just found you and I'm glad I did. I've been struggling with my garden in my arid Texas yard with little experienced help/advice so I'm really looking forward to viewing more of your videos. My cantaloupe are doing very well this year with all the unseasonable rain we've had. Such a blessing. Last year was the first year I planted cantaloupe and watermelon and I got one lonely melon each. So this year, I turned over a new bed for my melons. I placed them within a 10'x10' chain-link dog kennel (to keep the dog out), which we placed around the bed, and they're happily growing up the 6' tall chain-link panels. The watermelon vines grow thru the chain link into the yard (where I surround them with wire to keep the dog from trouncing the vines). Seriously, we had so much rain that I could literally watch the watermelon vines grow! They grew 8-12" in a day during that cool, cloudy and rainy weather. That was different and a lot of fun. All of this is fine except that I anticipated another hot, arid summer -- in which I would have to provide some shade and might still lose plants to the heat -- by placing the plants close together. So we're really maxed out in that 10'x10' kennel!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Wow! Send some rain to us. Best of luck to you this year. Thanks for watching.

[@buckd2958]

I’m in South Texas and had a lot of issues with the heat until I installed a simple drip irrigation on a timer. Cheapest 60 bucks I ever spent. Have about 15-10 melons on the vine right now. Best of luck to ya

[@brittybrad]

I just started my gardening last year and this was so helpful!

[@ftworthtexan9082]

Great video!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Plated many items in my first year garden cantaloupe being one of them. They're going well. Next year i will invest in some cattle panel for them to climb on.

[@EstrellaReynoso]

I found your channel just in time, I live in La Paz, down the baja desert, is dry and hot, I cant find enough information on growing food in this tipe of climate, at the moment seems like the cantaloupe is the only plant surviving the summer, and I was going to pull all the tomatoes that look terrible and there's only one cherry tomatoe hanging from them, but then I found your channel and I'm learning a lot about when to plan what, which know I know is key, thanks to you! GRACIAS!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Yay! Best of luck to you.

[@islami658]

Grow eggplant, peppers, melons, figs, olives

[@andrewmcintyre8774]

Thanks Angela for the thorough explanation. Mine self sowed from compost and went horizontal & vertical and unfortunately the first ripe one was sitting on the ground and suffered an attack from below. The rest are all hanging in the air and I can't wait to taste them!😋

[@BEdmonson85]

Oh wow, thank you! I just learned so much. It's my first year planting cantaloupes, they just started blooming. Hopefully they do well, I planted some okra and tomatoes too! :D

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I hope so too!

[@rinacraig7307]

Wow thanks for shareing such informative tips for growing cantaloupe! As a novice at trying this fruit l was anxious to obtain all knowledge & this you have given in a nutshell 😊 Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@Diamond55185]

This is my first year growing cantaloupe and I completely forgot to look it up. I have one lonely small one on my vine I can only guess the others didn't get pollinated. I didn't know it could be a climber so I will do that next year since I have limited garden space! Plus, it'll be easier for me to see them! Now I know what to look for as well on when it'll be ripe.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Great! Glad it was helpful. Best of luck next year!

[@mypointofblue5260]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing. I bought a plant recently from a farmers market and about a month or so later, I have about 2 musk melons that are big as my hand. I’ll have to make sure I cut back on my leaf cutting now! :)

[@adrianr9307]

Thank you for an excellent video on growing things, you really nailed it perfectly, I grow them every year here in Sth Australia and they are jam packed with intense flavour.

You're doing it right then if they are full of flavor, enjoy!

[@roberthummel2300]

Great tips, thanks. I've noticed that where the vine enters the fruit, it looks changes and looks like an outie bellybutton around the stem when it's usually ready to pick.

[@brentwalker8596]

I have grown many smaller melon varieties both heirloom and hybrids and the sweetest was Ambrosia. If you want an interesting heirloom with complex sweet flavor try Charentais.

This was a very informative and excellent video. I like how you paced it so that it was concise, but not too rapid to understand and digest everything.

Just as I was getting my clippers I thought I should check!! This is my first time growing fruits and veggies. I’m using grow bags and supports as a giant burr oak in my backyard has taken most of my sun. Thank you for one of the best videos on growing cantaloupes I’ve seen. You just saved me from making a novice grower mistake.

I'm growing sugar baby watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe on one wire and metal structure with jute ropes that the vines can climb up from the raised bed they're in. Ive been frantically making larger hammocks or slings out of mesh produce nets for the rapidly swelling fruits to support them so I was shocked to see the cantaloupe happily hanging there unsupported without issue 🤣 Probably don't need to baby it as much as it did, I'll experiment if any more fruit set with not putting them in a sling/net. Great video thank you!!

[@rvnmedic1968]

Excellent info and explanation from start to finish. I got some free seeds when I ordered other things from Stark Bros. Never grew them before, and I had just built 3' high raised planter boxes, 4'x8'. Four hills for Butternut Squash and 2 hills for the lopes. I planted 3 seeds in each hill, then snipped only one from each. Now it looks like a tropical jungle with nice green leaves and overflowing the planters. There are some lopes growing so after watching your vid I'll leave them alone until ripe. Thanks again!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Thank you. Enjoy them!

Thanks for teaching AZ growing. I live in Phoenix and am trying to figure out the growing, originally from Idaho. How often and how long do you water during the hot months?

I water each morning long enough to saturate each bed. Each watering system will need to be used for a different amount of time depending on water pressure, emitters etc.
