I have tried a melon for the first time this year.

Despite it being in a frame, this is the best I can do!

Hello Biscombe

How did you grow that?  Greenhouse, cloche what?  I am keen on trying melons next year and would love some good advice.  Someone suggested a very deep hot bed without cover, but I am unsure.

Oh I am jealous, I lost all mine in the flood cos the melon house was deep.

Toms and peppers made it though XX Jeannine
