Decided to pull the plastic under the melon plants to see if that was causing excessive heat buildup under the plant. Since the plants were attached to the netting it was similar to pulling a table cloth from under china but much slower. Leaf curl continued UNTIL the rains set in. I inspected the bottom of the vines at the leaves and can't believe how quickly the older junctions started to sprout roots. If the melons take off I won't know if a 200 pounder could have been grown in the pool alone. Now I have to decide if I want to fertilize and water the bare area as needed. There's also time to try and set a good shape melon if good female comes along. Maybe aborting the mission is the best bet. I'll sleep on it.
