Rockin' Rockmelons

I am always looking for things to plant in my garden that I haven't grown before.  When I saw some Rockmelon seedlings at Bunnings I jumped at the chance to try them out.  They were planted out a month or two ago and they have really taken off and are trailing all over the place.

There are lots of little yellow flowers on them and like pumpkins there are male and female flowers.  The bees have been doing a marvellous job so I was hopeful that we might get some fruit.

The other day I was out watering and was very excited to see one little fruit on the vine!  Hopefully there will be more over time too :)
