[pjh75]

This year however I have planted everything i could get my hands on, and at this moment in time i have 42 galia melons up , 5 sweetheart melons, 5 ogen, melons

How did you get so many melons going? I have planted 4 watermelons (1st March) and got nothing yet, not even a whisker of a seedling.

You can't call it 'tesco' unles they are all the same size/ colour/ texture and wrapped in a milion layers of plastic! Oh and tasteless too...

This is my first proper year growing as last year i only managed tomatoes because the greenhouse wasn't up and running.

This year however I have planted everything i could get my hands on, and at this moment in time i have 42 galia melons up , 5 sweetheart melons, 5 ogen, melons, 32 cucumbers, 27 courgettes, 10 tomatoes, 12 peppers not to mention spuds in 15 pots and 3 huge tubs of carrots.......wonders where the heck i am going to put 52 melons

Anyone else go mad or is it just me

I was way enthusiastic last year (first year) too! Amongst others, did 2 courgette plants (pretty minimal by your standards which for me didn't produce enough...so am doing 4 this year! However, very jealous that you are having 15 pots for potatoes! I'll prob only manage 4-6! Would love to do melon but no greenhouse and not hot enough prob where I am

Enthusiasm is great! Let us know how you do!

I am on the isle of wight if there are any grapes on here interested in my melons (pardon the pun)

now i was trying to talk my son into a weekend away on the isle of wight in a couple of weeks time .......will have to wait and see ..........

[Topaz]

Just been back to greenhouse to check on everything and can't believe it now in excess of 100 melons of various varieties, have spoken to the local garden centre here on the island and they are going to take some off my hands, as well as some of the courgettes and cucumbers. Even better they are going to pay me for them..
