(Best months for growing Rockmelon in Australia - sub-tropical regions)
Start in small pots then transplant when no danger of frosts. Plant into a raised mound to provide good drainage and warmth. Provide plenty of water.
Ready to use when the fruit falls from the vine.
In cold climate regions start the seeds in a heated greenhouse with plenty of light in order to have a long enough growing season.
Rockmelons may need hand pollination with a soft brush.
Cut in half and scoop out and discard the seeds.
Sprinkle with some ground ginger or serve plain.
