Melons are one of those fruits that we dream of growing in cooler climates. I’ve tried and tried for many years to grow a wonderful pair but they seem to prefer warmer climates….That is until now!
Emir are the perfect Melon variety for the cooler climate, so this year I’m giving them a go. Come and see how I harvest mine.

Hi Claire
I am also going to be sowing melons this year the same variety. On my seed packet it says to sow in April. I can’t seem to help notice that you are a month ahead. Should I ignore the seed packet and sow now anyway?
Do what the packet tells you. Each variety will vary slightly.
