Melon plants are bouncing back as best they can. Growth is expanding from the tangles. The plants in general are about the size where I'd expect to start seeing the females I'd use if I was hoping for a competition fruit and those females are appearing. Even though this is only a 3 lober the length was 43 mm, she has produced 4's. A sister plant had a 4 lober at 42 mm also this morning. Selfed both plants. Found the first 5 lobed females this morning on various families. One of the 145.5 plants had a 3 lobed 29 mm, 4 lobed 29 mm and 4 lobed 31 mm female on separate side vines. With luck these will give us an "indication" if lobe count and female length really matter, that's assuming they all had good pollinations etc.
