Man I wish I were good at gardening. Every time I have tried it has been a disaster, and only after significant effort and expense.
Don't feel alone. I usually grow a great garden. Last year I started planting and taking care of 2 gardens; mine and then one at my son's house. They both did great. Then for some unknown reason, this year both gardens had to be replanted and neither produced as good as last year. That's with fertilizer, watering and weeding. I also started having problems with my rose bushes about 2 years ago. They burst out in a glorious array of blooms and then hardly nothing for the rest of the summer. That's with pruning, rose food, aphid/pest spray and watering. I think it has to do with the Chem Trails. Once we get our world back to a certain stage of normalcy, then try planting a garden. I'll bet you it will work well.
Some things in our garden are OK, and others are small or won't grow. Chard has been in dicot mode for a month. Dinky carrots, small peppers. I suspect corporate sabotage of seeds, fertilizers and the garbage they have been spraying on us from jets. Hoop houses might help with the latter.
I'm so disgusted with how my gardens turned out that I may not even plant any next year. Last year I had a beautiful yield of squash, zucchini and okra, that this year, my okra didn't really make even after resetting it 3 times, I am finally getting squash and my zucchini is a long time in waiting.
I was surprised at how easy cantaloupes are (Texas).
Get a bag of potting soil ---- dump it in a pile on the ground ---- put in seeds ---- keep soil damp.
It's a vine that will take off across the yard.
I got the seeds out of a grocery store cantaloupe.
You did good.
The best tasting cantaloupe I ever ate was this one:

They are small but so sweet and fragrant.
