Here are a few more questions. How many of the blossoms will produce cantaloupes on average? Is there a way to increase the productivity by thumping the flowers like tomatoes? (I've already tried it just in case it works.)
My cantaloupe vine (singular) is really taking off. Its putting on multiple blossoms, and is starting to branch off a bit. Even though I don't like cantaloupe, I'm getting pretty excited. I'm going to blast it with some of my banana peel puree in a day or so, maybe with a side dressing of composted chicken manure. It seems to respond well to the nutrients.
