    Hi, I have a few melon seeds that have started to grow in my greenhouse. I am assuming these will like it warm from now on. But how warm ? Would a west facing porch do as it does get quite warm in the afternoons and evenings. Anyone had any experience or tips for me ?

    tryed years ago no success at all ......then retryed in the green house and i had 2 misarable melons out of 2 plant ...still happy i suppose.
    they need lots of sun and lots of fertilizer to boost the plant.
    but sure that was my inexperience some must have done.

    Hi Sal, and thanks for link.
    I shall try them in the greenhouse and see what happens. I might just put one in the porch. Last year Peppers did really well there. With a bit of luck who knows !
