Getting a low flower to fruit ratio on my Cantaloupe. Watermelon and all other plants are fruiting just fine. However, I’m getting no flowers turning into fruit on my cantaloupe. It’s odd.. talking 40+ flowers and none of them fruiting.

Love the cattle panel arrangement.
Looks like I got suckered on some of my beans. They were all supposed to be top pick or bush style but they have damn runners on them. Looks like I get to run some trellis netting.
Finished caging all my tomatoes. I scored a win on those cages. Sometimes, you just gotta stop and ask. I'd seen them stacked up at a house and decided to whip in there and make them tell me no.
Sweet elderly gentleman agreed to sell them to me for "whatever I wanted to give him for them." I went home to get my trailer and some cash to give him but when I went back he wouldn't let me pay him for them. "Son I'm too old to garden anymore, you get some use out of them cages."
Needless to say, I'll be keeping them in fresh veggies as my stuff comes in later on.

are they all male flowers, or are you seeing female flowers as well and they aren't getting past the flower stage?
I had a similar issue last fall with my pumpkins. Tons of male flowers when it first started and no female flowers. I fed it some flower boom fertilizer, I think it was just the simple miracle gro one you'd put on your flowers to bloom more, and that helped tremendously and saw some female flowers soon after. and i literally took a male flower and went make him have flower sex with the female flowers i had. I think he liked it, and he was successful impregnating his female companion.
