Grown with success last year. 3 fruits from 1 plant. Grown on the patio also (in the south east of England against a south faceing wall). Better results I''''m sure will come in greenhouses

Excellent fruits produced this year (2009) - 5 melons from 1 plant, each being about 3.5 inch diameter. Very sweet flesh. Who would have thought that melons can be grown in the North East of Scotland! - I will be growing more of these next year. The only problem I had was a couple of seedlings that damped off in the spring.
