    Having enjoyed a very good Melon they do vary, Prepped it put into a bowl ready for supper, thought I would just throw the peel and seeds onto the garden a few weeks ago, thought no more about it, Yesterday whilst doing a bit of weeding discovered half dozen good sized melon plants...what to do with them any ideas ?
    I do not have a greenhouse reckon its to late in the season for anything fruitful outside

    Outside (greenhouse sown and raised in Spring) they really need a minimum of a cold frame to get the fruits to maturity in a season.

    If the seeds were from Supermarket melons?? they may be a variety unsuited to growing in a UK climate and/or and F1 variety that may not come true from seed.
