Hi - would love one if you have any left - it's my 1st year of growing melons so it would be intersting to try this one too.
I have spare cukes, chillis & possibly other stuff so if you want to swap for anything let me know & I'll see if I have it.
I can send you payment for postage too if needed.
Have PM'd you.
Thanks.

I've already got some so I'll have a go too.

Has melonqueen jeannine got any hints for us on growing them?

ie. when to sow in Scotland etc?

It seems they need a lot of heat to get flavoursome.

Woody, many thanks indeed for the seeds. They arrived yesterday but the envelope looked similar to the ones they use locally for parking fines, so I didn't open it till tonight!

Cheers!

 ;D

You know I have read this posting several times and have only just noticed the description.    re: anybody fancy growing tiger melons. Are you talking about Tiger melons which are heavily grooved, heavily netted  green members of the musk melon family, or are you talking about the Tigger melons which are colourful , striped and much more smooth.  The two melons are very different to each other.The picture shown  is of a Tigger, not a Tiger.

I am now confused, can someone please enighten me.

I just wondered in case someone has gots seeds from somewhere else bt has no picture on the packet.

When God blesses you with a multitude of seeds double  the blessing by sharing your  seeds with other folks.
