My Late March planted melons have some leaves that are starting to curl up. (like as if they were dry or had mites.) The leaves also have some brown lesions, mostly on the leaf tips. I am worried that these could be early signs of gummy stem blight. (I had my season ruined last year due to gummy stem blight and voles. So I am a little bit crazy about this.)
I have decided to start a few new seeds and hopefully get a fresh start.) I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem? Or maybe have an idea of what is going on. (I don't think it is too much fertilizer salt, because I have really laid off on the ferts so far.

I planted the least affected one out, but I have kept the rest inside because I want to watch them. I will try and get some pictures up later today and put them in my diary.

I just posted a few pictures in the photo gallery section. They should be up in a day or two.
