25 Nov 19 anon (Australia - sub-tropical climate): Look for when they say to plant. GROW in autumn/winter not summer.

22 Nov 19 anon (Australia - tropical climate): I have that wrong with the melons etc. In tropics plant mid-late Autumn. In the sub tropics plant spring but you need to germinate the seeds in late winter- a problem with soil temps then as they are a little low. Germinate indoors in a warm area.
