The Watermelon and Cantaloupe bin. They were untangled this weekend to help keep them from strangling each other.
Cantaloupe was deeply wrapped in Watermelon’s business. Their longer extending arms were also guided back inside the bin to help prevent fruit from being grown outside the bin

Cutouts for the handle area so the net fits into the bin better.
Next time, this step will come just after everything is freshly planted. Doing it now is a much more difficult and less precise process.

Time to Fertilize! Been about 3 weeks since everything was first planted.
This will be applied in waves, where a little is given to each bin in order. After a brief stop for drainage, additional passes with the sprayer help fully saturate the soil.
It’s been very hot during the day, in the low 90s in the shade. This heavy watering and fertilizer should serve them well until the next rain and cooler temperatures.

An overview of the tangle. The Cantaloupe likes to strangle the Watermelon. Literally, he wraps a little tentacle around the Watermelon’s stem and chokes it.
They have been manually separated and will need a net between them. Also, many of the arms hanging over the edges have been redirected back inside the bin, adding to the congestion. This is in hopes that fruit grown inside the bin, rather than down on the ground, will be tastier and safer from bugs, squirrels and raccoons.
