Fertile Melon?
Moderators: KG Steve, Chantal, Tigger, peter, Chief Spud
This is my melon plant, looks healthy enough to me? Thinking, its flowering, but will it be self fertile, or should I have planted two plants. Am I worrying for nothing?

Hi CJS
It will have male and female flowers - the females will have a small melon-shaped swelling behind the flower, the male will just have a stalk. You can, if you want, use the male flowers to pollinate the females.
