Dear all,

Once again ths year I am getting quite a few of my tiny melons (Cantaloupe),
turning yellow and 'dying off at a very early stage - when they are about
the size of a de-podded French bean.

I do get some that reach maturity every, but most 'wilt' like this.

I suspected it may be due to irregular or underwatering, but this still
persists.

The plants are 9in pots, in proper growing compost (some have some garden
compost added), and they are out of draughts in a warm, unheated greenhouse.

Keith, someone one here, I can't remember who was growing melons, it
may have been Sacha but she is otherwise engaged at the minute
otherwise she would have replied.

I think I remember something about using a brush to fertilise the
plants??? Hopefully someone will post soon and advise.
