Correct, I am growing outside. I do have a spare plastic cover greenhouse thing that I was just about to put down and stick in the shed. Do you think it is wise to put it in there? Will it bring it on a bit quicker?

from another list -
".....The problem seems to be an almost total lack of female flowers. I've seen maybe 4, on 3 plants. Two plants haven't had any at all, though all the plants have had loads of male flowers.
Try pinching out the growing tips to encourage them to branch more -
this usually helps to encourage female flowers."

Yep, I can confirm that SF. You need to keep your Melons warm ( I can't belive I typed that without bursting out into fits of laughterOriginally posted by smallblueplanetSF I believe you should keep your melons warm!

Just harvested my only two melons! Ate, one delicious! Yum!
Left other in shed and now the shed is filled with a beautiful sweet aroma! Dont want to use it mow as i'd rather leave it as a pomander!
Much better than the smell of chicken muck pellets I usually have to endure!
