    Hi,
    I've got some melon plants in a small greenhouse and they are producing flowers but then they just die!!.. anyone know what I can do to make them produce fruit? Theres lots of insects in the greenhouse to pollinate them.

    Any advice welcomed.

    You rely need to use a light brush and pollinate the flowers yourself.
