🍈🌱 How to Grow Juicy Melons at Home | Step-by-Step Guide

Craving home-grown, sweet melons? 🍈🌱 Here’s a simple UK-friendly walkthrough: start seeds warm (24–28°C) in 9 cm pots, grow on in a greenhouse/polytunnel, train up a trellis and pinch at 4–5 leaves to push laterals. Hand-pollinate morning flowers, water deeply at the base, and switch to a high-potash feed once flowering. Support fruits with soft slings, ventilate well to prevent powdery mildew, and watch for aphids/spider mite. Ripeness cues: cantaloupe/galia = aroma + netting + “slip”; watermelon = creamy yellow ground spot + browning tendril. Reduce watering to concentrate flavour, then harvest with snips and enjoy! #Melons #GrowYourOwn #UKGardening #Greenhouse #Polytunnel #Cantaloupe #Galia #Watermelon #FruitGrowing #SeedStarting #HandPollination #HighPotash #GardenTips #Allotment #GardeningWithBen
