    Can anyone suggest the best way to support cucumbers and melons grown in a greenhouse.

    Many thanks

    The easiest way is to use canes/sticks, but melons can be quite heavy so I made a permanent frame out of wood battens. I tie string to the top of horizontal batten and then wrap the plants around the string as they grow, cucs tend to climb up the strings with little fuss.
