I saw some large wilting vines on many of my melon plants starting around yesterday or the day before. Immediately I assumed the worst-case scenario had happened, I assumed that the crowns had started to fail. Fortunately, it was just mice gnawing the vines in half, I never thought I would say fortunately it is just mice eating the vines, so far it appears that none have severed one of the the vines that a melon is on, so perhaps they are just helping me out with their selective pruning. LOL Anyways, I set some mice traps out and then put some mothballs around the patch in a desperate attempt to reduce their population and keep them out.
