Golden Jenny Cantaloupe

NewWestGardener · July 26, 2021

Hello, has anyone grown this melon before?
I would like to know if the fruit grows on main stems or secondary ones/side branches, or both, so I can manage the pruning properly.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi NewWest,
I haven't grown it but others have.
Go to "Search" and enter "Golden Jenny melon" and you should get some results, mostly from the Cucurbits sub-forum.

Thanks Lisa, that was an excellent read on melons from the link you gave.
First time growing melons, but it looks like we lucked out on the extreme warm weather.
Happy Gardening!
