  discovered them in amongst the foliage of my melon plant in the greenhouse. They are the size of duck eggs so I'm going to 'borrow' a bra from my OH to hold them up.

If your OH knows finds out that her melons have been downgraded to the size of duck eggs, on a public forum too, then you're in BIG TROUBLE!

Steady there SS; how do you know that duck-eggs aren't an upgrade?!

luckily she doesn't follow this forum (and duck eggs would be a considerable downgrade  )

Must be good for melons on Merseyside found a few hiding away myself this week :)lol

How many do people think should be left on 1 plant? Is 3-4 ok???

With a subject heading like that no wonder you have 101 hits!

I've never grown them myself sutty1, but ive read and seen people leaving 2 on each plant but i think it would depend how healthy things look on the plant

[SUTTY1]

Think you probally right with that, they not got too long to swell and ripen, so 2 it is

Same for my plants, lots of flowers, only one fruit. Should I go round & tickle them
