Melon Trellis

Today I built a trellis for the watermelons and cantaloupes to chillax on once they get going. I busted up an old bean trellis and reused that wood to build a frame.

For the grid I just ripped a couple cedar fence boards I got at Home Depot for $2 and some change apiece. The boards are 6' x 6" so I just cut them into 1" strips. This was a pretty cool project, I just really wish I had a table saw. I did all the cutting with a circular saw and it got the job done, but holy crap did it take forever.

Now if the damn melons would ever sprout we might get somewhere. I love pretty much every part of gardening except waiting on the freaking seeds to sprout.
