Re: cantelope

Hello again.
I meant to say (pollinated)  Your flowers may not be getting pollinated
thus not forming fruit.
Or in the case of the hybrid parentage if your seed is saved you may have
self sterile plants.
Another thing that may factor into lack of fruit is weather extremes. If
it is to hot the fruit aborts before it forms. If it is to cold, it may
not form at all.  I hope this helped.
