    Mine ended up on the compost bin yesterday! think it has just been a bad year for greenhouse fruit and veggies. Dove will know

    Any red spider mite under the leaves? Try misting the plants each day with tepid water. Try not to get the stem at ground level wet as they can rot. My melons (indoor and out) are excellent (Cornwall) but this cool weather may put the kybosh on the baby melons ripening.
