You can, but you'll need to do it in a greenhouse/polytunnel

Have a look in a few catalogues at seeds - that'll let you knw how large they're likely to grow (the larger the melon the more careful you have to be about watering.

Good luck + let us know how it goes

They need lots and LOTS of water evidently!
