Thompson & MorganWatermelon Minilove 3 Postiplug Plants
Description
Do you love watermelon? Watermelon ‘Minilove’ is a deliciously refreshing mini watermelon variety perfect to grow at home boasting sweet red flesh. Specifically bred for growing in the Northern Europe climate, each plant will produce up to 5 or 6 early ripening, manageable mini melons, with each melon expected to weigh 3-5kg on reasonably compact plants. These spreading plants are best grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel where they have room to trial across the ground or trained to a wigwam or nettings to keep the fruit off the ground. Why not grow a summer favourite at home and enjoy delicious, juicy and refreshing fruit from home during our hot summers. . How to grow:. Pot up young melon plants and grow them on until they are large enough to be transplanted. 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.Melon plants can be trained upwards on strings or wires, or allowed to spread flat on the ground. Pinch out the growing point after 5 leaves have formed to encourage lateral shoots to develop. Select 4 vigorous laterals and train these to 6 leaf stage, before pinching out each growing tip. Remove any other laterals. Fruiting sub laterals will then form on each stem..
