Great tips thanks Aleisha. We lost a lot of little melons earlier this year, due to over watering, and last year the aphids sucked the life out of the plants, so this year we researched what deters aphids and found nasturtiums, marigolds and onions all will. So Anne planted onions in amongst the melons, she got the onions going first and we had no aphids this year., and low and behold we have had water melons for the first time. Once again great tips......
Thanks alot for the tips 😁👍 have just planted my melon plants and was told to water them, alot, but will do as you said water right upto flowering than slow down, i live in Taranaki so weather is quite bipolar here 😂 although summer gets quite, lets grow 👍

I'm trying for the first time. Water Melon costs way too much.
