Fruit seeds – more information

Did you know that you can grow melons in your own garden from seed? Starting your own fruit from seed is the most economical way to enjoy super sweet, fresh strawberries and melons from your own garden. Try your hand at the unusual with cucamelon seeds! Growing fruit from seed doesn't require any special equipment. Just a warm space and compost.

How to grow fruit from seed

So many delicious fruit plants are easy to grow from seed. Sow heat-loving fruit plants like watermelons and cucamelons in late April and May when temperatures start to rise. Hardy fruits like alpine strawberries germinate well earlier in spring or even in autumn to over winter.

If you live in a colder area but want to try your hand at growing your own melons, sow Melon 'Alvaro'. This half-hardy variety ripens happily outdoors in a spot in full sun, fruiting between July and September.

Start your fruit seeds in warm, damp seed compost to initiate germination, keeping them at a steady 21°C. As soon as you see shoots appearing, move them into a sunny spot where they get plenty of light for healthy growth. Keep your seedlings away from frost. Melons thrive inside an unheated greenhouse, and with support, their trailing vines run vertically, saving space and making harvest time easier on the back.
