My problems with getting melons to grow well are well documented (sigh), but I don't usually have problems at the first hurdle getting the seeds to germinate!

This year I've had some in my heated (non thermostatically controlled) propagator for three weeks with nothing showing...everything else had germinated OK so I checked last week and no seeds had rotted so I just left them in.

Yesterday I transferred them to my new shiny birthday present propagator with a digital thermostat, and this morning three seedlings are showing! Coincidence? ??? ::)
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

I had mine on the top of the fridge! In 5 days they were up...
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
