Cucumis melo

How to Grow
Select a south facing, wind-sheltered site and sow 5 seeds 2.5cm (1") deep per hill. Space hills 1.5-2m (4-6') apart. Thin to 3 to 4 plants per hill. In short season areas, start seeds in peat/paper pots indoors 4 weeks before plant out time. Seeds need a warm soil to germinate properly. Do not sow into soil cooler than 21C (70F). Keep the melon vines evenly watered throughout the growing season.
