went out today to measure my melons and two of them hadnt gained anything in a week. I traced the vines back and something has chewed the vines into. I put out rat poison for the last two weeks because i was finding side runners being chewed on. now i am not sure if it is mice or maybe rabbits. I am ready for next year

I wonder if the rodent poison doesn't drive them to chew more desperately in search of water until they die? I had no choice but to use it around my chicken coop and the nearest melons are pock marked like I have never seen. Melons further away have nothing.

Hopefully we'll get some rain, they are probablly looking for water around here anyway.

luckily the mice here in Mo like my drip tape better than the vines! Every time I turn the water on I have to plug several new holes!
