  • Thanks. I love your videos.

  • @LenoraForest Thanks! glad you enjoyed it! - Mark

  • Aaaah, such a cool idea for the canteloupes!

  • @ZennLa13 one of my best accidental discoveries! - Mark

  • Great tip for caging the cantaloupe since I suffer the same affliction you do... small garden space. Thanks a lot!

  • @4micaman funny, now that I have 22 acres to play on, I was telling my wife that I think I am going to go back to growing my cantaloupe in cages as I did when I was space confined. They really seem to do much better, ripen better and less pest damage. One of my best accidental discoveries! - Mark

    Yes, that's the way to do it. Plus, makes weeding so much easier.

  • @markhess The old me, would be envious of your acreage. ;) I'll just keep doing what I have to do, until I can do what I want to do. If that involves cantilevering my cantaloupes, then, so be it. XD Peace ~Anthony

    PS, I'm still grateful you share, all that you share.

  • @nothingtoyouatall I've used pantyhose before and that worked well too; the planks were and after-thought that served as a quick fix that actually turned out to work better for me. The wind could be a concern as you mention; hasn't been an issue yet. - Mark

  • iv'e also seen people suspend the fruit in a netting bag , leggings or pantyhose. i'd probably be worried about the fruit rolling off the plank during a storm or high winds.
