plant succession

I like to grow my melons ( cantaloupe, crenshaw, and sugar baby watermelon) on trellises to save space.  In my area I should be planting them now.  All of the trellis space, except the new one I just put in are full of peas.  The peas will produce until it gets hot, maybe early June.  Do I dare put my melons with my peas?

It sounds like your growing  season is long enough to plant the melons after the peas.  It will be interesting to see what others have to say.

Jen,

I wish I could help here but I am deathly allergic to Melons, as in I actually get the beginnings of anaphylactic shock if I eat even a small portion.  Therefore I don’t grow melons—but I wish I could because I love/used to love watermelon.

I'm just worried because the peas take up a lot of room, and I don't know.  I think the melons may climb up the peas, then they wont be anchored to the trellis.  I don't know but I think I will give it a try and see what happens.
Bummer about your allergy Eric!  My son loves shrimp, and is very allergic to it, I'ts always something good.  I guess if we were allergic to something we hated, we would never know.
I haven't had much success with Melons.  Watermelon are sparse, and I get lots of cantaloupe, but it's the only thing I have ever grown that doesn't taste as good as the stuff I get at the store.  I am determent to change that.  Thanks for your comments

Jen,

I don’t know what I would do without shellfish!  I love shrimp, lobster, scallops, crab legs etc.  Too bad for you and your son.  The allergies are really no fun.
