I started off an innocuous looking little plant, bought at the plant sale at the start of Jume and it is now trying to take over the world...... what do I need to do with it to get fruit????

I was sent some seed from tora, I've been pinching out the growing tips and it's now producing flowers  ;D

Huh!
Mine watermelon plants are both sulking and small, and have had love and attention lavished upon them. I suggest you ignore it totally and it will probably give you an amazing crop! ::)
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....🥴

Growing Blacktail Mountain from Real Seeds this year
2 plants in buckets in greenhouse seem fine, flowers, but not set yet
3 plants outside at the plot started great, but have slowed and are sulking with this crap weather - bit like last year ::)
