Full-On Farming Failure

.

Out of curiosity, I planted the seeds from a cantaloupe melon a couple of weeks ago. I rinsed off most of the seeds from the cantaloupe and planted the entire glob a couple of inches deep in a planter pot raised up off the back porch.

To my surprise, within a few days I had dozens of seedlings sprouting up.

Over the course of a few days I thinned the seedlings, as one is supposed to do, until I was left with seven vigorous little plants.

A few mornings later, I was down to two vigorous little plants. A malicious midnight marauder with the munchies made mincemeat of my agricultural efforts.

The next morning, the remaining two plants were gone.

I don't know how the pioneers survived. For that matter, I don't know how modern farmers manage to produce crops considering the voracious nature of... nature.
