The melon whisperer

So, if there are horse whisperers and dog whisperers, why can't I be a melon whisperer or a cucumber whisperer? After all, these cucurbits are my trainees. I love to see them shooting right up and, with a bit of human direction, attaching themselves fast to tomato frames and hardware-cloth fencing. Maybe I should take them all the way back to 1964 and play Twine Time (Alvin Cash and the Crawlers) for encouragement.
