Hi Jeannine,
i call them tigers, but the seeds came from the melons shown, they came from me via a friend in canada.

Keep meaning to mention - planted mine the evening I got them (2nd April) & one was up by the time I got home from work on 4th April!
No sign of the other one yet but I suppose there's still time.
Anyway - I only need one to win! ;D

Where's Woody gone??? Woody did you get my emails???

woody · « **Reply #48 on:** April 11, 2007, 20:57:45 »

You hoooooooooooooooo,
no emails emma, although my spam filter is set to ultra high, send another and i'll stick you in my "friendlys" How was the egg ;D.

I have kept the biggest seeds :P, the prize for the winner will be chilli related, all will be revealed.
Remember its the size not the weight, all melons must be photographed with a tapemeasure etc, as weights can be tampered with ;)

mutty042130 · « **Reply #54 on:** August 18, 2007, 18:11:51 »

any seeds left?

Amazin · « **Reply #55 on:** August 19, 2007, 00:16:46 »

All my melons, including the tiggers, germinated perfectly and grew on well - until I put them outside. They were eaten within 24 hours. Gutted ain't the word. :'(

Woody, if you get any more seeds, I'd be delighted to try them again next year.

You'll find me outdoors with a torch, a pith helmet and a blunderbuss.

Slugs, you have been warned! >:(

cornykev · « **Reply #56 on:** August 19, 2007, 16:37:08 »

Blast the feckers Amazing. ;D ;D ;D

Spanner · « **Reply #57 on:** August 20, 2007, 13:13:53 »

Mine did really well to start with and seemed to get going outdoors quite happily. Then the rain settled in with a vengence and the stems got snapped after they blew over in the wind :'( Was totally gutted, especially as I thought I had weighted everything down properly. :(

Froglegs · « **Reply #58 on:** October 17, 2007, 13:28:57 »

Well i got 2, put them together and i don't think ya will make 1 :'(

Froglegs · « **Reply #59 on:** October 17, 2007, 13:33:04 »

Or is that the size they should be. ???
