Growing Rockmelon, also Canteloupe

View the Rockmelon page

30 Dec 11 Jane Williams (Australia - temperate climate)
We planted, bought seedlings about 8 to 10 weeks ago. The vines are growing well and have lots of little yellow flowers, but no sign of any melons forming as yet. We have other veggies in that the bees seem to like but haven't seen any on the rock melon flowers at all. Do we need to hand pollenate them?
