Ups and downs with the UK grown cantaloupe, and maybe on borrowed time. One of the plants runners collapsed suddenly, and since died off so about 1/3 of foliage has gone.

I’m guessing fusarium/melon wilt? If so - while the rest of the plant hasn’t collapsed, I’m guessing it and other plants may be on borrowed time.

Is seed now likely infected, not to be used in future seasons?

And what have folk found useful in these circumstances? E.g. grafting in future seasons.

For the moment it’s still pushing along a cantaloupe tho.
