[@chadgillilan2386]

Just gained yourself a new follower. Growing my first garden this year and my cantaloupe and watermelon look good but wasn't sure if they were ready turns out I probly have a couple more weeks. So the ones that I accidently broke of the vine looking at are just going to the chickens!

[@mrs.rogers7582]

Very informative! I'm going to the garden to check out my watermelons and cantaloupes!

[@MBHeritageFarms]

I'm glad you found it informative! Enjoy checking on those watermelons and cantaloupes-hope they’re thriving!

I also work 2-5 hours in my garden every morning (residential relocation/rebuild). I was a cantaloupe dummy until this video. You sliced open that melon and it was PERFECT!
Thank You for sharing, I'll be harvesting in a few days!!!!❤

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Thank you very much for the awesome comment. We still use the same methods today. I hope you have a blessed weekend.

[@HadassahHaman]

@MBHeritageFarms Thank you. I really did and with the 100 degree heat were having here in missouri, zone 6b and your advice...I harvested my first cantaloupe of the season! Will look into the 80 day harvest variety that you mentioned as well.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. ♥️

[@JulesGardening]

Heck to the yeah! Great info! Thanks MB!

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Thank you brother

[@jackzampella5758]

Thanks for the knowledge. I'm still a novice growing cantaloupe. This is only my second year growing cantaloupe melons. I start with an 10-10-10 granular fertilizer and after 3 weeks I used Neptune's Harvest liquid hydrolyzed fish fertilizer that has a 2-6-4 n p k Some melons were sweet and some were not. I had 14 cantaloupe on 4 plants in a 10 foot raised bed. We had a storm that dropped 5 inches of rain the day after I watered them. I'm thinking that was part of the reason for some having bland taste. I didn't know about a spoon leaf I will check to see if I can find it. Again thanks for the info.

Always welcome, Thanks for watching and have a great weekend

[@wesh388]

Thanks for the info!

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Thank you for the awesome comment. Have a great weekend~

[@tammydepew5236]

I have to put a piece of panty hose over my melons so the critters I assume squirrels don’t eat them so I’m not getting the field spots or webbing is it still going to have a good flavor?
Also what fertilizer is best for my melons, and how often do you feed them?

[@MBHeritageFarms]

we always prefertilize with fresh chicken poop and dead leaves three months before planting and only water after planting until harvest.

[@Prober61]

We just picked a yellow one and it was rotten on the inside. :( Hopefully your tips will help.

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Thanks for watching and have a great weekend

[@Tommy.461]

Thank you. First time ive gardened and cant get my cantaloupes very big. Any tips?

[@MBHeritageFarms]

try more phosphate in pre fertilization stage before planting and spoon feed 4-4-4 organic weekly during the flower phase just before the melon develops,Thanks for watching and have a great weekend

[@Tommy.461]

@@MBHeritageFarms thank you. Next spring I will try that.

[@brokedancer70]

If they fall off the vine by themselves.

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Then most of the time thats an indication of over ripe or rotting. The PEAK ripness is while its still on the vine. "Have google will research"

[@larryhaydon]

Good Job Brother.....starting a garden in the Philippines. Had a few descent cantaloupes recently but 2 that I harvested were huge but not sure if over riped or under ripe...what happen if you harvest late?

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Thank you very much. Harvesting cantaloupes too late can produce a copper or metal taste at first, which worsens as the rot starts and the fruit softens.
