Sure. And thanks for the info on the squash. We are doing butternut squash this year, and it is helpful to know it won't cross with the honeydew melon or the cucumbers, although they are in different areas of my yard. The biggest issues with any of those is the amount of space needed, even if you have something vertical for them to climb.
Oh, and on those, be careful to not overwater them. They will die quickly if overwatered, especially if they are setting or ripening fruit at that point. We lost honeydews last year from just one badly timed overwatering day. Which reminds me that I need to put the water timer on my spigots.
