Growing Rockmelon, also Canteloupe

View the Rockmelon page

06 Feb 14 Phil (Australia - temperate climate)
My new garden is smothered by vines of self germinating rockmelons from the compost bin. Had a tree removed and then enriched the soil with compost for the tomatoes -they are now competing with the rockies. With the unusually hot summer here in Tumut plus some generous seasol they are going gangbusters. Pity my wife doesn't like them .. so our neighbours and I will enjoy them.
