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!
Thanks for the video and information it is great to see another farm family doing their hearts work. We will make sure to put one plant per ten gallon pot.
This is my first season attempting cantaloupes & also watermelons (baby sweet) and was desiring to go into containers. I'm a new subscriber now!! Thank you for your generous teaching & I appreciate your attitude. It's important to approach gardening (for the newcomer or for the person with a new crop) with a sense of humility & openness. Even in a so-called *fail* we'll learn something!
I grew a cantaloupe plant in a 7-gallon container last year I only got one small fruit. it was delicious and I saved the seed to plant this year. The heat here was also intense and I lost most of my plants last year. I plan to try again this year.
Love the honesty! It’s my first year trying to grow in 5 gallon buckets and so far I’ve yet to see any cantaloupe. I started from seed indoors and I’ve lost a few but I still have a few growing. My question is did you use any manure? Also have you tried fox farm?
5 gallons can be tricky but they work. Once you see flowers, fertilize with morbloom 0-10-10. Once the fruit set only let 1 grow on the entire plant if not you will have to feed like crazy to get them to a decent size. At the time we weren’t t using manure but we do now. We get free composted manure and we love it. We have used fox farm and it works great. It’s our favorite bag mix. A little pricey tho. We usually mix it with our “super poop”.
Thank you a lot, man, for such a clear "do's and don'ts" by growing Cantaloupe melons in a pot. As for me, I'm absolutely in love with any subspecies of Cantaloupe melons adoptable for growing in home pots or containers, especially "Minnesota midget Cantaloupe" and french heirloom Cantaloupe subspecies named "Charentais". number one Michellin orange melon in Paris' restaurants. Have a nice one, greatest harvests to your family in a new vegetable/fruiting season and like and subscribe, for sure... Keep up the good job, man. Cheers, Serge.
Thanks a lot! The inspire hybrid is a good cantaloupe for containers. They get about softball size and are really sweet. I let my first batch rot because I thought they were supposed to get bigger. 😆 I got the second batch tho.
I “accidentally “ started several cantaloupe starters in my compost! It was so cool! So I tried replanting in a big contAiner & I’ll let you know how it goes! Thank you &. God Bless’🙏👍💯
You got this! I did two cantaloupe in one 20 inch container last year and they both did well. But…. I’m cutting back to 1 per container this year to see what happens. Keep us posted!!
Was looking for info on growing Cantaloupe....Grew a few last yr, but wanted tips. Just watched the opening, hit LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!. Why? When I haven't watched content? Because you're all about FAMILY 🏡❣️🙏.....Father God knows we need more of this! So you got me! I'm in🌱❣️....I'll be telling my friends.!!!!! .....Now, on to the Show😊🫢
I know this video is 2 years old but question…. Why didn’t you take your soil up higher in the pot? That would give your plants more area for roots. Just wondering. 😄
I believe the 20 inch container is a little larger than the 20 gallon bag, but not by much. (I’ll let you know for sure tomorrow). Melons are heavy feeders so I would only put 1 per container. You can also have an “experimental” bag where u plant 2 in that bag to see what happens. That way if it doesn’t work you don’t lose all your melon plants.
@@hisandherbshighdeserthomestead I think the experimental bags is a great idea. I did two 20 gallon bags with 1 & the other with 2. We shall see…I’ll update at the end of the season. Thanks for the advice.
Yes sir! That worked for me. I wanted it to have as much room as needed and not compete for nutrients with another plant. I do 2 fruit per plant because it is in a pot. But may be able to get away with more because they don’t get huge like watermelons.
I started by seed this year and I over did everything. But you start running into problems indoors with not enough grow light and space to cover them all. That ended up in crop rotations and taking them outdoors every chance I got when temperature were permitting. It was a lot of work doing that although it kinds of helped harden them off and were ready to go in the ground right after the last frost date. But I understand why you buy starts. It can be much easier for certain plants and I also question if I really saved much money after figuring out time and cost of the lights running? I also had serious failures with pepper plants because they really just don't want to start from seed unless you have a heat mat.
Last year we didn’t start enough of ANYTHING!! Which made us have to buy a lot of starts. This year we have a lot less starts but we will supplement with them so we can keep every bed and row full.
I have another question for you I don't know you might not know this or you might can I grow potatoes in a cloth grow bag indoors and if I can grow potatoes what fruit or vegetables can you grow indoors like over the winter if you have any knowledge on that please feel free to share with me or make another video I found your video quite interesting I would be glad to subscribe to your channel thank you very much
That’s a really good question. I think it takes somewhere between 60-90 days. But I let mine grow until it falls off the vine. We’re going to do a video on how to tell if the fruit is ripe.
I saw a video where they use knee high panty hose and hold the melons like a canopy for support on the trellis ruclips.net/video/NvoTHPylpj8/видео.html
how long until flowers come? mine finally has little vines but its slow. the leaves are only about 4-5 inches across 😔 but its been about almost 2 months
This year some things are taking longer than expected. I have watermelon that was planted earlier this year that are just now flowering. But my new cantaloupe are growing like crazy and already have fruit. Usually it takes just a few weeks to flower.
Hi! This is my second time visiting ur channel, so I started cantaloupe from seed, I was only getting male flowers and the 4 vines weren’t producing the fruit (female flower) well I put a 2 system in with it, (meaning i put a lg cottage cheese container with large holes on the bottom filled that hallway with old leaves and kitchen scraps and on top of that a starter plant that was literally struggling) well I have tons now of females and the plants are taking off, even the starter plant has come back to life and in about a week and a half it has doubled in size! I got the idea for the 2 system from #RobbieandGarygardeningEasy here on RUclips. Anyway how many fruit should I let grow per vine? I wish I could send a pic! I used a decent sized container, can not remember what the gallon is, I have 4 vines and now sine the 2 system I put in there are multipack female plants on each vine. Should I let it go or should I cut some? This is my first summer ever growing anything other than a couple basic herbs.
Hey, thanks for coming back and great job experimenting and finding what works! I follow Robbie and Gary too and I’m about to do that system in a few of my beds and containers as well. I’m only allowing 2 fruit per vine. That way the plant can focus on those two fruit. I wait to see what gets pollinated and what is developing the best before I cut off the fruit.
@@hisandherbshighdeserthomestead ohhhhh good! Well I did a little experiment with the 2 system, I just wanted to see for myself…. I had 2 tomato plants same size same breed, kind….lol I don’t know what to say but they were the same in every way height and all, I put a small 2 system in one and the other just plant food. I water them every morning and every night…….the one with the 2 system doubled in size! It was amazing to see….. ok so I will wait to see whIch ones are pollinated and took and I will cut off any other. Do you cut the top of the vine also so that will stop growing? I am growing sugar baby melons and I have 3 one on each vine and I cut the top of one of the vines bc it was getting out of control, so I cut the top of the vine about a foot above the melon and it started getting bigger, I feel like it stopped growing for a minute, then after cutting the top that’s when it started filling out. I’m not sure if that is something I should have done or not. I just put a 2 system in this container. I’m hoping it helps with the other 2, they seem to be growing at a much.slower rate. What I didn’t do is jot down the date I planted and all that.
@@MNatale425 you should be good with cutting the vine after the melon. I’ve seen it done but I haven’t done it myself. My plants always seem to stop growing once they get nice sized melons on them. But from what I hear it works! I did an update video to this one so you can see our production this year. Since shooting that video my melons have put out a ton more flowers! You have me excited about using the 2 system!
@@hisandherbshighdeserthomestead I’m subscriber now 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 so now I won’t miss a video. I will watch that now. I even did on one planter bc it really couldn’t hold a 2 system, a small container with a lid, big holes in the bottom and the top some holes for ventilation and for water to get in, also added some dirt on top just to cover the smell so no rodents….. can’t wait to hear what u think……
@@MNatale425 thank you for subbing! Have you checked for worms? That system is supposed to be really good at attracting worms. I’ll definitely keep you posted on how the system works for us!
Can you even grow the pumpkins and watermelons and cantaloupe in containers they're cloth grow bags I mean I know they find out and the pumpkins at least plant little roots where each funk is going to grow so I just let him go out of the bags The Vines and then creep across the ground or is there something else I should do any advice is welcome

Hi stumbled upon your channel just now‼️ this year is my first time planting cantaloupe and some veggies all in pots I hope they grow well
You got this!
Great Video! So 1 plant in the middle of the 12 inch pot? How many Cantaloupe per plant?
Yes sir! That worked for me. I wanted it to have as much room as needed and not compete for nutrients with another plant. I do 2 fruit per plant because it is in a pot. But may be able to get away with more because they don’t get huge like watermelons.
A canteloupe started growing after I uncovered a planter that I was tossing kitchen scraps in. It is growing vigorously.
how did it come out?
I started by seed this year and I over did everything. But you start running into problems indoors with not enough grow light and space to cover them all.

I'm growing cantaloupe, honeydew, and potatoes in containers.
how did they turn out?
Can I grow melons on my apartment balcony?? I love melons!!
Yes! You will have to control the vine and probably only 1-2 melons on the plant but possible.
How do I start the melons, do I just plant the seeds in grow bag or do I have to start it in a cup or something?
Less than 10 days and my cantaloupe grew roots to the bottom of a 15gallon, it was a starter tho
Wow, that’s fast!
How long does it take for a cantaloupe to reach full maturity
That’s a really good question. I think it takes somewhere between 60-90 days. But I let mine grow until it falls off the vine. We’re going to do a video on how to tell if the fruit is ripe.
