This year we added rabbit manure to our small garden , it has gone crazy I have tomato plants that are 7' tall & my melons & squashs are running away. I have never had this happen before. How can I contain them a bit ?.. they are up over the 6' fence and back down wanting to take over the yard. Is it ok to snip off the ends will that put a stop to then crawling over everything . il going to be on the side of the road selling veggies
thanks for any help

I guess that is a good problem I don't think you will do damage by trimming them

thanks Anna
this is a 6' fence with melons climbing over it

I agree with Anna--nice problem to have, Cheryl. I have never successfully grown anything beyond one scraggly cucumber last year, but if you still have questions, you could post it in the Ask ATP section. Hope you get bumper crops.

What happens to the melons when they grow large and heavy, hanging on that fencing?

Use panty hose secured to the fence to hammock them up!

We miss our rabbit, Pepper, and her poop!

some of my tomato plants are now over 7' tall any ideas on how to stake a 7'+ tomato plant/tree
