I bought in Sweetheart (musk) F1 Hybrid melon,and am not sure if they are self polinating or not(I should have asked). Anyone got any advice on this.

if you break off the male flowers and remove the petals you can pollinate the female flowers some people use a soft paint brush to pollinate fruits etc.its not a big job to do the pollinate the flowers your self
