If you're serious about getting bigger harvests this season, I put everything I know into a 115-page guide — The 30-Day Maximum Yield Protocol. It's the exact system I use in my own garden. Grab it here: <a href="https://www.stevesgardenbooks.com/">https://www.stevesgardenbooks.com</a> 🌱

Another great way to improve pollination is to plant flowers near your melons. You can also choose flowers that help deter pests and/or attract predator insects. I put things like dwarf zinnias, cosmos, dwarf marigolds, chamomile, and petunias near all of my plants in the garden. It's not just pretty, it's functional.

Plant some tithonia. Mexican sunflower. Keep it deadheaded and you will have an endless Summer orgy of butterflies and pollinator bees.
