Melons
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2020 7:58 pm
For the first time ever I have an orange melon actually looking pretty good, so good in fact it has loads of flowers and about 3 separate stems trying to do their thing. In my mind I had a vision of a similar thing to squash with just one stem as watermelon do that, but sometimes 2 stems.
What is the recommendations for getting the best chance of a couple of ripe fruit - do I just choose one stem to train around, knowing I have to limit it to just a couple of fruitlets or should I pick a couple of the stems & just let them have 1 fruit each. This one that has gone mental is in the greenhouse at home, all I can say about the 2 in the tunnel is that they are alive, but where there is life there is hope & some very warm weather may encourage them to wake up as well.
Cheers in advance!
