Hi, A 'patch' is a small area. A melon patch is a small area where water melons are grown. I think a melon-bed would be the same.

Don't we need 'the'?
She keeps her eggs in 'the' [melon-bed, melon patch].
Thank you very much.

Or "a".

In this instance, though, it does indeed seem to be "the":

“...Have you ever heard where she keeps her eggs?” “In the melon-bed...”
