I've tried and tried and tried to grow a decent cantaloupe, but as soon as they start to take shape the small animals emerge from the woods during the night and devour them. They don't bother anything else, just the baby melons.

I just go outside to scrape out the seeds; usually in a week I have a plant. Everything grows in the Keys.
Last year was the first time I had a vine that I actually paid attention to. The fruit was so good. I can't wait for this one.
