Heat, muck and water.

Stop them after a few fruits formed.

we grew them in the greenhouse last year ,and had to pollinate them by hand (by the time we realised we had to do that we ended up with melons the size of tennis balls :oops: )

That was also the summer - lack of - last year, but good point, if completely indoors, needs pollinating too.
