Thinning? Hey folks, Long story short, we moved several years ago and ended up with rock hard clay for soil. So the past few years, I've been relegated to container gardening for the most part. These are two Sierra Gold cantaloupes growing in a 20 gallon nursery pot. Soil is home-brewed for melons and is well amended. I've grown melons for years, but haven't grown full size melons in containers. Though a smaller variety, they're much bigger than what I've done in containers the past couple years (Minnesota midget, honey bun, and another small variety). That being said, I think know my answer, but someone please tell me to go ahead and throw one of these in the compost ... Unless ... The proverbial 'you' think I can make it work with rigorous care and heavy feeding! Thanks! Originally by u/SpaceCptWinters on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/yur6ux4f
