;D that looks great mine went to melon heaven don't think the mini green house was warm enough for it ::)
nice one, my water melon is about the size of a ping pong ball at the moment., other melons yet to have female flowers
I have 5 watermelon plants in my greenhouse with lots of flowers how do I tell which flowers are the female and do I have to pick of the others :-\
Hi, susan1, welcome to the site ;D
the female flowers will have mini melons behind the flowers, the male won't ;D
might be worth hand pollinating some
Wow, that's fantastic. Mine are only at the flowering stage, which is further than they got last year!
Wow, fruit already Eristic, well done. I have 6 plants in the greenhouse and they still only have flowers!
Mine have only flowers - I found a femail flower the other day, and helped it along a little, will have to take my glasses next time to make sure I don't miss any.
I'm desperately brushing from flower to flower, but no joy yet.
Quick update on progress. I think the melons are Minnisota Midget.
