Growing Rockmelon, also Canteloupe

View the Rockmelon page

08 Jan 12 kate (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I have 4 rockmelon plants in my terracotta pot out on the balcony and they are growing really well. I have 3 small rockmelons growing on them (they are still green). I actually got these seeds from the rockmelons from the supermarket out of the half rockmelon I purchased. I took them out of the rocky & dried the seeds out and replanted them. Voila..... I have my own plants growing. Our season here in Victoria has been all over the place. But I am pleased to say that I finally have rockmelons going on my balcony in a bigish terracotta pot.
