Default Growing watermelons in the UK?

Can anyone give any advice (especially concerning watering) about growing watermelons in the UK? Last year I tried a few variaties, both in a greenhouse and outside, but I found that they grew to about half the size of a football, then dropped off the stem of the plant. I have successfully grown pumpkins and squashes for many years and wanted to try something different. I am in Hampshire.
