Rock Melon Hales Best is an outstanding rockmelon that is powdery mildew resistant, ideally suited for all gardens. Expect fruit weighing about 1kg. Choose a sunny position and prepare your soil well.
How To Grow
Sow seeds 12mm deep direct in final position. Sow 4 or 5 seeds in clumps, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings. Allow 50cm between rows, 40-50cm between clumps. When the young plants have 5 or 6 leaves, pinch out their growing tips to encourage the growth of side shoots. Grow alongside a trellis or fence if space is limited. Keep the plants well watered and prepare the soil well by adding organic material and complete fertiliser. Sow in spring and summer.
