hmmm thats a bit odd since my vines are doing considerably well in direct sunlight some of the fruits have grown bigger than my fist and the vines have started producing fruits like crazy i dont think the vine will be able to support that much fruit.

the vines are spread across an old spring bed which is hardly visible anymore and most of the fruits are hanging down the old bed

Unless its hybrid. Otherwise time left in the season is less. Water melons are already in the market

Both can be planted by February end... grapes are better grown from cuttings and melons from seeds..
