I planted some seeds in a large planter then put screen around it because of the bunnies... the plants have really grown and now have 2 blossoms..the planter is round, how will I give this plant a chance to grow a melon??.

    It may not look good but if the blossoms turn to fruit you can have the fruit supported in poultry netting and poles if you want to keep the bunnies away. When mine grew big enough I turned the pot sideways so it would grow along the ground.

    If you want to try to keep them growing up in the container, you will definitely have to rig some kind of "hammock" for them, as Irish mentions above. I have seen it done with old panty hose.
