Cantaloupe season is upon us! Nothing I like more than fresh fruit from the garden. How do you know if cantaloupe is ready? It's quite simple. Give the cantaloupe or melon a gentle tug. If it falls off the vine it's ready and guaranteed to be delicious. Well.... unless the bugs have gotten it!

[@jerelwilson7879]

Thanks for the information about the Cantaloupes because I have some and I wasn’t sure when they were ready to pick. I went straight out to my garden and tried your technique and it works.

[@pestandlawnginja]

That's great to hear Jerel! I hope they turned out perfect!

[@rvnmedic1968]

I built two waist-high planters and put a few hills at one end. The vines went over the edge and are now 8' away. Before the planters, I put tons of crushed gravel on top of the soil. The melons and lopes are sitting on the gravel. Also have sugar baby melons growing, etc. Thanks for the quick tips! Cheers, Bob

[@pestandlawnginja]

Awesome bob! Glad it worked out

[@benjaminlewis671]

Thank you for this video this is exactly what I needed today I'm going to go see if they pull off because they are really big.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Have fun!

[@djdebusk08]

Thanks for the helpful tip!

[@pestandlawnginja]

No problem!

[@SwiftyMcVeigh851]

Thanks man...I love melons of all shapes and sizes😂

Thanks for such an informative video!!

Glad it was helpful!

[@andreabrelinski363]

@@pestandlawnginja We used your method this morning and picked our first 2 cantaloupes! First time growers!!! Definitely worth it!

[@kbkb6569]

fabulous thanks!

[@pestandlawnginja]

you're welcome!

[@loretawatkins1010]

Thank you for confirming what I thought...but wasn't sure. Also, instead of peach tea, try the juice of one of your cantaloupes. Heavenly smell and flavor. Thanks and happy day to everyone!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@sarah_farm]

She's hard working woman God Bless 🙏 you! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Thanks

[@ClemonsKunkel]

Nice and easy to Remember

[@pestandlawnginja]

Thanks for liking

[@meateorman4191]

Working on my 1st garden and everything I spent money on failed but the cantaloupe that came up in my compost it doing greAt!

[@pestandlawnginja]

that's the worst! happens to the best of us

[@meateorman4191]

@@pestandlawnginja I watered the melons to much and they all burst open before they were ripe.

[@ThuyTran-vj1lx]

This happened to me too! smh

[@meateorman4191]

@ThuyTran-vj1lx the cantaloupe never worked out. I watered it too much, and they burst open unripe. I just built a reverse hugelkultur garden bed. It's 3 layers, 1 truck load of wood chips, 1 yard compost, 1 yard garden soil mix. I used rotten fire wood for a boarded. All ingredients were free. It was 102⁰F today, what should I plant in this heat?

[@user-xg1zp6lw5u]

Same here. So far my cantaloupe plants are doing great.

[@smooches7885]

urs look great; i put some light weight flaten tubular wire sections for vines to grow on so the don sit on dirt or put several small rocks under ea.

[@pestandlawnginja]

great way to do it!

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

I tugged and mine fell right off lol. Thanks!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Glad it helped!

[@ryanmanley4399]

Holy! Hell ya

[@buffalopatriot]

Thanks for the primer. I just hope the pesky raccoon that's been helping himself to my garden will wait a little while longer.

[@pestandlawnginja]

I hope so too! Gotta love fresh fruit from a garden!

[@Dmgolfer22]

Easy to trap.

[@zanmar6764]

Do you think growing cantaloupe is easier vertically on trellis or on the ground?

[@pestandlawnginja]

there are pros and cons to both. its easier to grow on the ground but more prone to bugs and molding.

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

I have had success with putting a nearby leaf under each cantaloupe to prevent soft spots. Be careful not to tug on the leaf or the cantaloupe when doing this.

[@pestandlawnginja]

great idea!

[@benda777nba]

I threw some cantaloupe seeds in my backyard and after tons of rain here in Texas I've noticed a good 6 growing! Howbdo you prevent all the weed a growing mine were knee high!

[@dillon7981]

Pick the weeds around them every couple weeks

[@pestandlawnginja]

patiently hand pull the weeds

[@ChristopherPisz]

Mice and rats seem to love these. Is it a sign that they are ripe when the mice get into it or will they just chomp it any time at all?

[@pestandlawnginja]

without being there its hard to say. but i would guess you're onto something.

[@redshedllc9054]

Was that from over watering ? I've had peppers do that split

[@pestandlawnginja]

its possible. none of the others split.

[@thetimeisnear369]

I hope your going to harvest the seeds out of that split cantaloupe. Nothing wrong with the seeds.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Good call!

[@ericmatthew360]

I'd eat the other half. Probably juicy

[@TomJerryMF]

What is the difference between harvesting and picking??

[@pestandlawnginja]

Not much

[@chrislang5659]

Would you ever water with a molasses mix

[@pestandlawnginja]

I've never tried it but the benefits sound logical. i've used that on lawns for a while and it helped.

[@chrislang5659]

@@pestandlawnginja thanks for such a speedy response. I know it works for certain plants just don't know a lot about cantaloupe, however I seem to have gotten lucky because the plant is big and healthy and producing a bunch of fruit! I like the idea of a gentle tug. Going to try that this evening as I think one or two may be ready! PS you got another sub! Come check my channel if you get a chance, still kinda random but I try to put something out daily. Everything from shooting, dogs, garden etc. Basic country life. I'm raising a whitetail fawn presently and will probably be the main subject for a while!

[@loading5738]

ah yes, can't wait to pick mine looks easier than watermelons!

[@pestandlawnginja]

so easy!

[@heathsbeesandfarming8109]

What variety.

[@pestandlawnginja]

man oh man I don't recall.

[@christianbotello8537]

Cantaloupes hurt my fingers when I touch their 🍃 and smell them because they are little pokies.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Well that’s no fun

[@tommieblaylock684]

Can't you cut off the bad part of the fruit and still use or eat ?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Sometimes. This one unfortunately was split pretty bad

[@gvinnydog5500.]

Better be growing a garden. Especially in the age of Bidoflation!

[@pestandlawnginja]

food is getting expensive for sure
