[bigal123_123]

got some melon seeds from bnq what chance have i got to get any fruit off them in a unheated greenhouse

[JO,JO]

bought some from lidl
sweet baby but have no success as of yet

Depends what type.

i have bought blacktail & minnesota midget watermelon because they are bred to be early; so I am hoping for some even though they will be grown outside.

An unheated greenhouse, you should be ok once the summer gets here.

Grown some MM, they're not watermelon.





Grew them here in an unheated g/h, can't think you'll get much fruit without some cover for them? They were okay, not a great flavour, gonna try a charentaise this year.

They look great but you said flavour wasnt great were they bitter or sweet, These were from the italian kitchen section from suttons they are melone rugoso di cosenza giallo.

I think that maybe the melon varieties grown for things other than taste, aren't perhaps the best choice. I tried MM cos they said it was a smallish plant and smaller fruit - no real mention of taste. It was okay, but the first one I picked too soon, the second was 'pleasant'.

I'm going to try a different variety this summer to see if the taste is better with a variety grown for taste rather than size. I'm still not sure we get enough sun over here, but as I've only grown melon once, I really can't say!
