Garden Chronicle Week 3 – Melons
Well, this past week we trans-planted our melons (watermelon and cantelope), pumpkins, and some corn. These were all started from seeds, inside. Based on the melon section in the Stoney basic skills It stated that melons do well on a trellis. Now this is something new to me. I have always seen melons grown on the ground. Now the key to melons on a trellis is to tie a nylon stocking under the fruit once it starts to develop, to provide support. So I decided to once again use PVC.
I made the trellis, by making 2 rail type sections and then adding some uprights to help support the rails. I simply tied, lashed the rails and uprights together.
