Melons can be difficult to get all the way to harvest, good luck and good work so far.

Any tips on helping get them fat and juicy?

I've gotten some really great cantaloupe before, but I lost about half of them to ants. Otherwise I didn't even do anything special. I suspect that making sure your watering is consistent is going to be the most important thing.
