Melons in the Greenhouse

[plantmark]

I would be interested to know of experience with growing Melons in the greenhouse in grow bags. In particular what size crop I could expect from one plant?

Hi

I grew melons for the first time last year in the poly tunnel, I did grow them straight into the ground and I had 4 from each plant they were beautiful. They are abit like cucumber you need to train them and support the fruit not sure how to put photos on will try and pm you them good luck

I have only planted melons last month but they didnot grown muc bigger still they are only at 2 feet high.I dont use any minerals or grow bags.If you are growing in grow bags they grow much faster and can expect some 6 to 10 fruits i can say.

Thanks for that. When you say you planted last month and they are now 2' high, was that plants you purchased or sowed yourself? I soed seed 3 weeks ago but they still only have the first two leaves and are growing very slowly.

They were sowed by little kid who ate the melon and frm that seeds they were sowed them.As far they will stay two leaves for few days but they grow.I may think in rainy season they definetly grow big and i not expecting fruits snce it was sowed from the fruit seed and no actual seed.ill post by tomorow a picture of it here in this thread.
