This is a video on tips to growing cantaloupe in a garden. This is my garden in my backyard in New York, USA. This video demonstrates how cantaloupe looks during the growing process and how to grow it vertically on fences. Enjoy.

Use pantyhose to hold the fruit up against the fence or wall.

like it i have a cantaloupe farm.

That's a great tip thanks

Its cantaloupe paradise! 🍈

Yum!

so awesome!

Thank you

How many plants all togeather?

I perceived that this video contains a valuable information and I am glad that you have shared this. I've learned a lot from you specifically that Cantaloupe can also grow productively in the ground. Well, this is a quite nice thing to have in a garden. Thank You!

How did you properly managed in transplanting cantaloupe? That would be my greatest fear because I really don't know how, this might lead it's growth to be retarded. I will be pleased if you could share some techniques. Thank you!

Awesome idea!!!Love the Cantaloupe..

how long does it take from flowering stage to fruiting stage?

Do you remember how many total cantelope plants you had here?

FYI..I grow cantaloupes vertically as well but I use my wife's old panty hose to support the melons. Normally I fold them (pantyhose) in half, tie a knot so I now have a harness then slip the harness around the melon and then tie it to my fence with twine. For me this works great because the harness allows the melons to breathe and as they grow the nylon expands with the fruit.

Ya, your right, it happens with watermelons too. I take leaves and put em under cantaloupe and watermelon.

well it may be soil conditions, i accidentally grew some in my compost. so fertilize and water

Yeah no problem. I'm growing some of my own at the time. 8 plants growing and 2-3 individual plants in each. You might also want to keep the melons from touching the dirt though..It could rot and get decease and die. Not sure if I read this right, but you can have the melons be in a container..like a cut milk plastic gallon and place the melon inside. May seem a little weird, but I've read it helps. Hope this also helps anyone else looking to grow cantaloupe. Good job on growing them in NYC too!

Thank you for this tip. I've discovered that cantaloupe also can grow well on the ground and it's not essential for them to grow vertically, so I've updated this video. Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.

Good job man!

Quick tip here. They like to do what you said, but they also like hills..for some reason they like to grow down a hill and grow cantaloupe as it hangs down a little.
