Si, this us my first year growing cukes, and they just started flowering. I haven't seen any bees around them, so yesterday I plucked a male flower, and placed it on the female. Today I went out to see the next female bloom, and noticed thief ants on my male blooms. They had taken: what looked...

So, I'm new to melons. I tried to grow some watermelon the summer before last, but it never came to fruit. My questions are, when should I let my cantaloupe fruit? I transplanted a 6" seedling a couple weeks ago, and it's been blooming. It's still very small, will it even fruit on it's own...
