Not those kinds of melons. These ones:
They're already desperately attracted to the sun so until I plant them outside I'm going to rotate them around. By the pictures I've seen on the internet they seem to sprawl which would seem to suggest they just kind of flop over and face the sun as soon as they can. But we don't suffer layabouts here, so they're going to grow upwards until they get their own place.
So far we have four confirmed germinations which is good news for melon lovers, as I only have three possible spots. The strongest survive. The weakest may well go into a playoff for the final two positions, both living in one pot with the aim being to grow little portable melons to send back to england. I'm not sure of their edibility, but they might make good ornaments.
The other weaklings must, I'm afraid, head off into the sunset, unless of course I can sneakily plant them somewhere around here where no one will notice. Guerilla gardening.
happy birthday!
