What about fruit fly, you get maggots in the fruit with those horribe things.....MM.

could be MM,there was only one with the maggots, the others just seem to be going squashy, anyway I got rid of them just in case it was fruit fly, struth I haven't had any fruit fly in my fruit, I would really hate that to be the case.

I had them in my Nectarine's and Tomatoes late last year.
This year Iam puting baits up, but I have lost the recipe
So I will have to get it from Jan again.

MM.

That's what happened to mine last year, Karnyah. They looked really good, but when I checked the bottom for ripeness, they fell apart in my hands, like orange soup. It was due to a very hot dry summer, little watering and then a deluge which just freaked them out. I was told they rely on regular watering. constant amounts of water, not necessarily a lot, but the same amount all through their growing. Humidity doesn't seem to affect them. It was really frustrating to find one after the other just going to slush. I got half of one to eat, and it was tasteless. My garden just can't do melons. Can't wait to move to MelonLand.

lol thank you adamus, I think it must hav a lot to do with the hot weather as well, oh well will try again next year and see what happens.
