Last summer, I grew 9 plants in a space of 4' x 15' (three hills of three plants). I have limited space, so this probably wasn't ideal, but the production seemed to be pretty good. I think I harvested around 22 - 25 melons. Based on the feedback here, I didn't pinch any of the vines.

It was my first successful year of growing melons. It was also the first year I had an area to plant them in full sunlight (which seemed to make a huge difference).
