Suttons Seeds Melon (Galia) F1 Lavi Gal

A wonderfully cool summer treat. Even though it can require a glasshouse to work in Ireland, it is unquestionably worthwhile. This melon’s flavour is unlike anything you’ll find in a supermarket that has travelled across the globe. Sow in a propagator on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approximately 15-20?C (60-68?F) placing the seed on its edge and covering with 13mm (?”) of compost. Transfer when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3″) pots, grow on and finally plant into the greenhouse border, grow bags or large pots, when risk of frost has passed. Restrict growth by pinching out shoots after they have formed 5 leaves. Water and feed regularly. Pollinate by inserting a male flower into female flower (the female flower has a swelling at the base).
