Honeydew!
Just harvested a 5 lb 3 oz honeydew melon today. There's another fairly large one just behind it. In addition there is a 3rd HD and a Sugar Baby watermelon all on the same vertical trellis using only the nylon mesh and no additional support.




I have seen women looking at jewelry ads with a misty eye and one hand resting on the heart, and I only know what they're feeling because that's how I read the seed catalogs in January - Barbara Kingsolver - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

Re: Honeydew!
Woo! That's great! I was wondering how well the nylon trellis would hold. Now let's see how well it'll hold my pumpkins...

Re: Honeydew!

Amazing! In MD, too! Well done!
I don't think I even have any golf balls on my melons yet. Next year they get a trellis so I can see what's going on .

Mine are golf balls on a trellis, on a vine that's about 1 1/2 feet long, so pretty easy to see lol. I planted some more in the "new soil" so hoping to get some growth! I think they look so cool growing vertical!!

Re: Honeydew!
How do you know when to pick a honedew? I have a nice one about the size of a volleyball. I don't want to pick it too soon or wait too long, since it's the only one I have.sfg4uKim wrote:Just harvested a 5 lb 3 oz honeydew melon today. There's another fairly large one just behind it.
