Sadly the melons on the site never fully ripened. I can't remember now what
type they were. We have had some success in the last couple of years with
Sugarbaby, but only one melon from one plant grown as a straggly mess in a
cold frame. I'm also going to try Charentais this year, watch this space.

Really?! Brilliant. I've concluded that without a greenhouse or tunnel
there's little chance for the melons to reach maturity. So I thought
I'll do a glass box (or cold frame but with light all around) on the
lotty, perhaps 4 or 5ft long, and keep them in there. Good luck Steve!
