my sweetheart melons sound as though they are doing the same thing as yours - ie not much!  I put it down to the weather.  Hopefully yours are inside somewhere warmer than outside - greenhouse or polytunnel.  I'm just going to leave mine to get on with it and have a happy surprise if I get one edible melon at all this year.

If you've got flowers on your melon plant you could try tickling them with a paint brush or cotton bud to help them set.
Gardening organically on chalky, stony soil.
