Cantaloupe issue #879214

Asked July 29, 2024, 10:53 AM EDT

Hi! I just submitted a question about tomatoes in a high tunnel. In the same high tunnel, we're noting issues with the melons - a number of the young fruit are rotting and dropping off, and plants are wilting. Photos are attached. Could you confirm the issue with these plants and advise on any actions we should take? Thank you!
