I have some French melon seeds, and from my research it looks as though they are grown differently from ours, with pruning of the vines as the plants begin to sprout and spread. I can't find more specific instructions, though, and last summer my French melons didn't do very well when I allowed them to spread naturally without cutting them back, as I do with American varieties. Does anyone know how to cut them back, or was it just a bad year for melons and they would normally have grown well without the extra attention?
