Well happy with this. It's only took me 3 years. Grafted plants for the win. Looks like it's got plenty more on the way too.

Once you get the first one on a bush then they keep coming. Watch your fingers when you come to harvest: there can be nasty prickles.

I’m very impressed.
Over several years before giving up on them , my best was no bigger than a golf ball
Enjoy
My next goal is growing an actual melon. I've got some lovely plants 8ft tall. No melons that I can see! Same as last year and the year before that. Time to get that paintbrush out I think.

If you live in the south then you might even want to try them outdoors, as long as you grow a variety recommended for outdoor growing in this country.
I'm growing Emir this year, planted through black plastic outside at my very sunny allotment, and I already have 11 fruits growing well (between four plants), and two of them I'm fairly sure are only a week or two from ripening, and the plants themselves are growing rampant, smothering everything and trying to escape the bed.
