I haven't done melons (no room) but I do grow cukes. All I can say there is, weather seems to be everything. I have years that I don't get anything and years when I can't give enough away. And I didn't do anything different that I can think of.

I have cucumber plants that are doing wonderful... but no cucumbers. they are happy plants so I'm not complaining. I have learned the last week that even though I have them where they get only a few hours of sun that this is too much for them when it is 105-ish outside, so I moved them and they seem to really like the shade. Of course who doesn't like the shade when it is 105?
