Melons set. One of Real Seeds mixed up specials.

 ;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.

I have three Canteloupe's set and 3 unknown Water Melons but they are at the ping pong ball size..  ;D
Well done Eristic...

we've a couple set but no larger than a big marble yet  :-\
still, only july  ;D

HEHEHEHE  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  I've got one
