Thompson & Morgan Watermelon Mini Love F1 - 1 Seed Packet, Green

Thompson & Morgan

Delight in growing your own sweet and juicy mini watermelons with Thompson and Morgan Mini Love Watermelon F1 Seeds, perfect for gardens, greenhouses or conservatories. ‘Mini love’ plants produce between five and six compact fruits each, weighing around three to five kilograms, so you’ll enjoy a generous harvest from just one plant. Growing is simple with clear instructions included, and you can choose to let the vines spread or train them up a wigwam for an organised display. Seeds are supplied in a handy packet of four, making it easy to start your own watermelon adventure at home. Sow seed two centimetres deep in 7.5cm pots of good seed compost at 21-25°C (70-77F) from April to May. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination. After germination, maintain a minimum temperature of 15°C (60F) and keep the compost moist but not wet. When melon plants are well grown, transplant them at a spacing of two plants per growbag or one centimetre apart under frost-free glass, or into frames or cloches outdoors. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out individually to grow up a wigwam structure, or 1.5m apart each way in well-prepared soil after all risk of frost has passed. For optimum performance, sow under glass, but seeds can also be sown directly outdoors once the soil has warmed. Do not sow in cold soils. Direct sow two seeds every 1.5m in late May. When germinated, thin out to the best seedling. Ideally, grow under cloches until plants are established. Product Specifications: Position: Full sun. Height: Up to 30cm when fully established.
