Description
These adorable little watermelons have specifically been bred and trained to grow and thrive in Northern Europe, making these ideal for growing at home in your own garden, greenhouse or conservatory! ‘Mini love’ is capable of producing 5-6 mouth-watering juicy fruits per plant. You can pick the fresh green fruits from August onwards, where they will be weighing around 3-5kg (7-11lbs). This variety of melon will naturally spread if they are not grown with a wigwam!Sow seed 2cm (3/4”) deep in 7.5cm (3”) pots of good seed compost at 21-25C (70-77F) from April to May. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination. After germination, maintain a minimum temperature of 15C (60F) and keep the compost moist but not wet. When melon plants are well grown, transplant them at a spacing of 2 plants per growbag or 1m (3’) apart under frost free glass, or into frames or cloches outdoors. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out individually to grow up a wigwam structure, or 1.5m (5ft) apart each way in well-prepared soil after all risk of frost has passed.For optimum performance, sow under glass, but seeds can also be sown directly outdoors once the soil has warmed.Do not sow in cold soils. Direct sow 2 seeds every 1.5m (5’) in late May. When germinated, thin out to the best seedling. Ideally grow under cloches until plants are established.Product Specifications: Position: Full sunHeight: Up to 30cm (12in) when fully establishedSpread: Up to 400cm (157in) when fully establishedSupplied as 1 packet of 4 seedsDelivered with growing and care instructionsImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
