- Galia F1 hybrid Melon (Cucumis melo) is one of the well-known melons. A delicacy, either as a starter with ham or as a dessert. Delightful sweet scent, early maturing, light green flesh. Ideal variety for growing in a warm, sunny position. It can also be grown under glass. Average weight of this honeydew melon is 800-1000 grams.
- Galia melon seeds require no prior treatment. You could however steep the large seeds in lukewarm water for 12 hours this encourages germination. Honeydew melon plants have male and female flowers. To encourage pollination it is advisable to plant and grow 2 or 3 at the same time. (Bumble)Bees will do the rest.
- Sowing: February, March, April. Galia melon is just like the cucumber in that it is a real heat lover. Sow indoors or in a greenhouse from mid-April. You can also use a mini greenhouse, using some fairly large turf pots filled with good potting compost, or just in a simple potting tray. A combination of seedlings, plugs and a mini greenhouse makes it very easy. Best is, if you can somehow heat your mini greenhouse from below.
- The seeds will germinate within the week, depending on the temperature. A few days after germination, alter the humidity in the greenhouse by opening the lid. Once the seedlings reach a height of 10 cm they must become acclimatised to the normal air humidity. To do this, remove the mini greenhouse lid for one hour on day one, then 2 hours on day 2 etc.
