there's video's on here from some "seasoned professionals" that suggest you cut off the watermelon vine a little bit after where the fruit it growing, plus cut off the suckers that grow, so they both stop taking way energy from going to your fruit. That supposedly makes'em sweeter too. I also watched a video where a direct sow melon grew just as fast, possibly faster, than one started inside--that blew my mind. Thanks for your video!!

These tips were exactly what I needed to know as a first time melon grower. Thank you for getting straight to the point with your tips!

That makes me so happy to hear!

Great video with information on melons in containers . Yes the sling idea is ind I’m familiar with as when I was a child the neighbor grew squash on the fence used his wife’s bras . Mom thought it was terrible. Made us laugh and now with you reminded thanks for all your details . Peace Always 🙏

Omg that’s so funny 😆

Honeydews taste so much better grown at home compared to what you can buy.

@davidlatif7829 Год назад

Very informative video. I may add that I noticed you have flowers growing close by. No doubt that helps attract the bee’s for a much better pollination success rate. Happy Gardening 😊

@shayinla1942 Год назад

Impressive for a first time grower! I hope I can do that with mine too!

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

Let me know how it goes!

@SageMamoo Год назад

Fantastic video!! Simple, informative, and your voice is so pleasant 😊.....I was hoping someone would show the growth in a grow bag vs raised garden bed so I could compare and you did a perfect job of that. Thanks you for all your help/advice

@alice_rabbit8345 3 года назад

Great tips! I grew mini cantaloupes one year up against the side of my deck and they grew up the lattice. They were delicious!

@ChicagoGardener 3 года назад

I'm definitely going to get some vertical supports for them to grow up next year!

@PorchGardeningWithPassion 3 месяца назад

Great tips! I am starting Sugar Bush Babies inside this year and have been hardening them off over the past week or two to prep them for going outside into my 15 gallon grow bag and tomato cage. I may also use some 3’ bamboo stakes I already own to help out the tomato cage for support. I will use your tips shown in this video to the best of my ability 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

Thanks for sharing this video! I’m a gardener too and I’m researching all the things I can grow in containers. I’m happy it led me to find you. I’m so happy it did your channel has so much to offer! This is very helpful. Thanks for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels!

My entire squash garden was wiped out by vine borers. I started getting good at spotting the signs of them being inside and cutting them out and squishing them . It was sad but this year I'm waging war on those darned vine borers. Going to catch them early. Maybe something else will ruin my plants but I refuse to let it be vine borers again!

@ChicagoGardener 2 года назад

They are the worst!! And having a small garden I’m always nervous about some pest wiping out all of my crops.

@JourneyofBella331 Год назад

Put aluminum foil around the vines

@MrAlicewonder Год назад

Someone suggested to me a copper coil next to the plants to keep the killing pests away yet allows the good ones. I haven't tried it but I have used organic Castile soap to spray leaf if necessary. Worked for Cucumber. Tiny amount of Castile and a whole lot of water.

Please do a video on how you water your plants?

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

That will be coming next week! Thank you for the idea.

@amysizemore5287 Месяц назад

I planted cantaloupe about 35 days ago from seed and they’re only about 3 inches tall but finally getting a 5 th leaf. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

@BestGranny10 Год назад

Thought you didn’t grow them so close. Especially cantaloupe & watermelon??

@Sweetlady1916 3 года назад

Do your grow bags have drain holes? Are they needed for flower or vegetable gardening?

@ChicagoGardener 3 года назад

The material of the grow bags is very porous so you won't need a drain hole as you would have on a regular pot!

@Cldfsn0200 Год назад

If you're in Florida call me. I have a container garden I want to show you. I live near Orlando and Daytona.

@dennfox1464 Год назад

How many cantaloupe plants in a 1\2 whiskey barrel? Thnx

@MrAlicewonder Год назад

Thank you so much! My leaves are curling up. Any suggestion?

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

I would check to see if your soil is moist first. If water doesn’t seem to be an issue, look up leaf curl on Google images and see if your plant looks similar.

@carolinewells4355 2 года назад

Watermelons can you start in a 14 gallon container?

@andreasanchez2815 2 года назад

My cantaloupe leaves are turning brown :’( Idk if its cuz of the sun ? It’s 95 here in Southern California.

@halibaitor Год назад

Look carefully for small insects and make sure you are providing enough water.

@andreasanchez2815 Год назад

@@halibaitor yeah it was definitely the insects ! And yes I was watering really well! I was also growing them in grow bags

@janeeirvin5724 Год назад

Great video. Is it beneficial for the melon to stay lifted from the ground? I'm learning how to grow in containers.

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

You’ll probably have a better shape of you lift it. Mine that sit on the deck always have a flat side to them 😆 if I had a lot of pests crawling around my soil in the bed I’d probably lift them all too but haven’t had much issue with that.

@ellawinkler4434 2 года назад

I have had more luck direct sowing seeds than starting inside. Can anyone please let me know how to get my seedlings to grow strong if I start indoors. I have tried heat lights, heat mats and they still get to leggy. I am lost

@ChicagoGardener 2 года назад

How far away are your lights from your seedlings? Some of mine got leggy last year bc the grow light was too far from the plants.

@ramz1455 2 года назад

When it comes to grow lights keep it a few inches above your seedlings. When you start them on heat mats; once you see the seedling has pop out take them off immediately.

@halibaitor Год назад

They're getting leggy due to lack of sunlight/uv.
