I have a real problem with my vine plants -cantaloupe, watermelon/squash. The first year I used this garden spot everything went well with everything, but the last ten years, the vines all die. They grow pretty well during the first half of the season, then get brown edges on the leaves as well as brown spots. Then in late summer, with the fruit about 3/4 stage, the vines die. Everything else grows well there, just the vines die. I've moved them around to different places in the gardening area (about 80' X 80', but they still die out. This year I moved the vines clear out of the normal garden - about fifty feet away and the vines are doing the same thing. Any suggestions, Appreciate it.

Two or three months ago these pansies were planted around in the planters, you know the kind you buy from the garden store ready to plant. They have good dirt and decent nutrition/fertilizer. They grew nicely and were colorful and healthy looking but now the look like the photo below. What should be done, just yank em out now and figure that's it for the year. Or leave them in and maybe they grow back next year, or get better somehow again this year? Trim em, prune em, anything like that to make em grow nicer again? They're ugly now.
