watermelon and canteloupes (and cukes and squash and nearly everything ) will do fine in bales - just keep in mind where they need to go (vining). Key is prepping them a few weeks in advance, then keeping them well watered. Soaker hoses lain over the bales works well, drip transmitters...or we humans with hoses!
