Growing Rockmelon, also Canteloupe

View the Rockmelon page

15 Feb 16 Ruby (Australia - temperate climate)
Hi, I've planted rockmelon for first time. Plant was healthy and produced lots of flowers and fruit, but fruit is either splitting and being eaten by bugs (not sure which is happening first whether bugs are causing the splits or whether they're just taking advantage) before we get a chance to get to it. Plant itself looking very forlorn now. Doesn't look like powdery mildew but leaves are all dying back. What's eating my fruit?
