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.
