Care Guide
Growing Melons
- Melons are best grown in a growbag in a greenhouse or outdoors, with 2 plants per bag.
- If growing in soil, cover the soil with mulch so that the growing fruits don’t touch the soil.
- The soil should be well drained and humus rich.
- Plant melons 1m (3ft) apart and, if outdoors, choose a spot in full sun and sheltered from wind.
- When flowers appear, select 4-6 female flowers that you want to become melons and hand pollinate them by placing a male flower inside each female. The male flowers are those with a swelling at the base.
Harvest
- Melons are ready to harvest once you notice their sweet smell and cracks begin to appear near the stems.
