Rockmelon 'Hales Best'
Bears lush, fleshy, sweet flavoured fruit. Easy-to-grow and ideal with ice-cream or in fruit salads.
Position
Full sun.
Sow
For early sowing, raise in pots of Yates Seed Raising Mix. Transplant after 3-4 weeks. For sowing direct, plant 3-4 seeds in mounds, later thinning to the two strongest plants.
Care
Plant in a sunny, well-drained position, and add Thrive Granular All Purpose Fertiliser for best results. Keep well watered. Pick melons when stem begins to break away from fruit. Protect from snails with Yates Blitzem.
