I am in Nambucca area frost free north east slope. Can i still plant rockmelons. I have the plants.

You can grow rockies in the autumn. Probably don't taste as good as the spring ones. I had rockies in and harvested the last in Jan - the fruit left in the garden bed, their seeds were germinating with in a fortnight.
