Muskmelon info.
Muskmelons, produces separate male and female flowers. A unique feature is they also have some flowers with both male and female parts. But they still rely on bees to do the pollinating for them. If there are not enough bees, the female flowers won't be pollinated, and no fruit will form.

Often if the muskmelon vines are fertilized with too much nitrogen, or during the heat of the summer, plants will produce only male flowers. There is absolutely no way to produce fruit in this situation! Watering thoroughly to try and wash away some of the excess nitrogen may work to some extent, but if the problem is high temperatures, you will just have to hope for cooler weather.

Vines that are too crowded may also fail to produce fruit. Plant vines where they are free to roam, at least six feet apart.

The best conditions to grow muskmelon in are full sun, well-drained soil. Plants or seeds should be put out after all danger of frost is past, and the soil is at least 60° degrees Fahrenheit. Well-drained or even sandy soil is a must, as standing water in a melon patch tends to breed disease.

A muskmelon is a member of the reticulatus group, characterized by a netlike ribbed rind and sweet orange flesh. A cantaloupe is a member of the cantalupensis group, named for Cantalupo, a former papal villa near Rome. This group is characterized by a rough, warty rind and sweet orange flesh.
