I need help with my melons!

19-07-2009, 09:41 PM

Im a first time melon grower this year.
I've got three plants in each pot and Ive let them get rather overgrown until tonight when I finally got to put up some netting in my greenhouse to grow them up.
There are plenty of shoots and plenty of flowers.
What do I need to do next? Should I cut some of the shoots off? If so where? What about pollination?

you should pinch all the shoots out and dont let it climb the fruit is heavy

pollinate with a feather or a fine pint brush the artists type
