WHEN TO SOW
February to May
Where to Sow
Sow seed on edge to prevent rotting 1.5cm (1/2"2) deep in individual 9cm (3 1/2in) pots under glass at a constant day and night temperature of 21°C.
What to do next
When the plants are about 10cm (4"") tall, plant out into final positions into large pots or grow bags under glass. Provide some form of support and tie in stems as required. Hand pollination will be required, remove male flowers after they have been used. Harvest July to September
HANDY TIP
Melons require training, once the main stem reaches 60cm (24"), pinch out the growing tip to encourage side laterals to grow. Select the four strongest laterals then pinch these out once they have produced 3 more leaves to encourage more side breaks. These side breaks should be pinched out after 2 leaves, then allow a further side break to grow and pinch out after 1 leaf.
NUTRITIONAL VALUE
Contains vitamin C, beta carotene and potassium.
