A fruit and vegetable support plate 63 is provided on the connecting frame 62, and the middle part of the fruit and vegetable support plate 63 is recessed downward to form an arc-shaped groove. A plurality of through holes 65 are provided on the inner wall of the groove and the horizontal part of the connecting frame 62. A plurality of pads 64 are installed between the fruit and vegetable support plate 63 and the horizontal part of the connecting frame 62, so that a gap is left between the fruit and vegetable support plate 63 and the connecting frame 62.

[0028] Specifically, the mounting structure 2 includes a base 21 arranged on one side of the cultivation frame 1, a column 22 is installed on the base 21, and a connecting seat 23 is fixed to the top of the column 22, a support rod 24 is fixed to one side of the connecting seat 23, a sleeve 61 is sleeved on the support rod 24, and a locking bolt 4 is screwed on the sleeve 61, and a plurality of first screw holes 5 distributed at equal intervals are opened on the support rod 24.

[0029] When in use, melon seeds can be sown in the planting cavity of the cultivation frame first. When vines grow, the vines can extend and climb along the support rods 24. When fruits are produced, the melons and fruits can be placed on the fruit support plate 63 to support the melons and fruits. When supporting the melons and fruits, the height of the fruit support plate 63 can be adjusted according to the position of the melons and fruits, that is, the locking bolt 4 is first unscrewed from the first screw hole 5, and then the connecting frame 62 is pulled to make the sleeve 61 move along the support rod 24, and the connecting frame 62 drives the fruit support plate 63 to move synchronously, so that the height of the fruit support plate 63 can be adjusted. When the height of the fruit support plate 63 meets the support requirements of the fruit, the locking bolt 4 is screwed from the sleeve 61 into the corresponding first screw hole 5 to screw the sleeve 61 and the support rod 24 together, thereby achieving the fixation of the fruit support plate 63 and ensuring stable support of the fruit.

[0030] During the process of supporting melons and fruits, if the melons are watered or it rains, the water on the melons and fruits can flow down along their outer walls, and then be discharged from the groove cavity through the through holes 65 in the groove cavity, and then be discharged into the planting cavity through the through holes 65 on the connecting frame 62, so as to avoid water accumulation at the bottom of the melons and fruits.
