I liked the size and flavor of the Minnesota Midget melon.  Sizewise, they
were right on the edge of what would work on a nylon trellis.  At first, I
tried supporting them additionally with nylon stockings, but didn't like
the way they tied up.  Plus, didn't seem to be necessary.
You gotta keep an eye on the melons.  I had too many ripening at once.  Too
ripe and they split--that is, crack.  Ants love to come running.  They also
slip, as in separate from the stem.  Takes management and supervision.
