It has been very dry here and as a result the meadow mice have been eating the vines to get water. Large sections of vine have collapsed on me in various portions of the row. At first I thought it was typical graft failure that causes the vine to collapse. In a way I was slightly relieved to find physical damage. Hopefully I will get the mouse problem under control soon. These melons are being grown in an isolated field without access to water or anything else. Fortunately the soil here tends to be on the damp side and we get some good capillary action coming up from down below. The melons seem to be loving this weather.
