You probably haven't seen it. I am copying it below. Thank you very much. Posted: May/17/2007 3:15 PM PST MamaBear, I have a question for you too. I intend to grow cantaloupe & squash amongst my veggies. I know viney plants take a lot of room but my question is... Would I be able to snake the vines in & around my other plantings or perhaps "guide" them around the perimeter of my plot? I have a 10'x18' plot & I'm in VA. Thanks for the help, in advance.

I trained melons and cukes without much trouble. I have used twine and stakes to keep them in there place in the past. Quote \| Reply \| Report
