Rock Melon Planters Jumbo
Botanical Name: Cucumis melo
My favourite rockmelon. A large-fruited variety providing excellent deep coloured flesh and a mouthwatering flavour. Easy to grow and a rewarding fruit all the family will enjoy.
We hope you enjoy these vegetable seeds, just another great example of vegetable seeds from Mr Fothergill’s!
| How To Grow | Drop seeds 12mm (half-inch) deep, direct in final position. Sow 4 or 5 seeds in clumps, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings. Allow 100cm (3ft) between rows and 40-50 cm (16-20in) between clumps. When the young plants have 5 or 6 leaves, pinch out their growing tips to encourage the growth of side shoots. Grow alongside a trellis or fence if space is limited. Keep the plants well watered, and prepare soil well by adding organic material and or complete fertiliser. |
