| I'm planting watermelons and cantaloupes this year and constructed a sturdy 6' high trellis. It's about 3-4 feet wide at the base. If I make raised mounds/rows, should I plant them on the inside or outside of the trellis? |

| Unless your trellis somehow blocks the sun, I don't think it matters. The idea of the trellis is to give the plant something to wind around, so it will end up on both sides as it grows. |

| A trellis doesn't usually have an "inside" or "outside" so could you clarify what you mean? Do you mean it is an arch? If it is an arch then outside. Dave |

| Oh, sorry. Forgot to mention that it is an A-frame trellis. |

| Ahh, then yes. Outside, as Dave said. |

| Makes sense now that I think about it. Thanks for the input everyone. |
