Our rockmelon vine is prolific with plenty of Vine & the fruit almost growing on top of each other. Does the fruit need sun exposure or just the vine? The vine is covering all the fruit will they ripen that way? Thanks Jan

I have found sometimes the intence heat of the North West W.A. effects the flower set. Try March to September. Had the same trouble with watermellons too.
