Hello Ahmad, I was reading through some questions when I came cross yours. I've been having this issue on and off for years now, involving cucumbers. They all are great healthy looking vines but what I have noticed is there is NO BEES! Cucumber, pumpkin, watermelons, mangoes, tomatoes and the list just goes on. What you will find is because on the lack of bees your flowers aren't getting pollinated you either need to invest in a few hives or start pollinating by hand. Try one vine by hand and let me know how you go

I am after seeds of a large round melon with a dark and lighter green skin. With dark yellow to orange flesh. We called them the Champagne Melon. My father grew these when we were very young. I haven't seen these in years only the pale yellow variety. Where would I be able to purchase seeds of these melons and maybe a photo to see if they are the ones. Thank you Gwen

Hi Gwen, we were given Watermelon Champagne seeds as part of a gift of a whole bunch of different seeds for our new vege gardens from my sister in law. They were all from Eden Seeds, located in Qld - www.EdenSeeds.com.au and they are non hybrid, old traditional, open pollinated varieties.

Gwen, could it be Cream of Saskatchewan? Look it up at diggers.com.au and you'll see a pic that looks like what you describe, they even refer to the champagne coloured flesh.

Do I need more than one watermelon plant growing to pollinate between or would one plant bear fruit? Thanks for any help.
