Growing Cantaloupes in Containers - Here are my tips
What type of cantaloupe should I choose?
Just about any variety of cantaloupe can be grown in a container, as long as the container is large enough,enough space for the vines to trail and the fruit to grow. You can even grow some of the jumbo varieties provided that you have space. With smaller spaces as most of us container gardeners are, choosing a short vining and small fruited type would be a good bet.
You may also want a variety which produces early if your growing season is short. Be sure to choose one which you think you will enjoy eating! It makes the work worth your while when you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.
