Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Plant in full sun with at least 8 hours of direct light each day.
• Timing: Direct sow after frost danger has passed when soil temperatures reach at least 65°F, or start seeds indoors about 3 to 4 weeks before transplanting.
• Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Mix finished compost into the planting area before sowing.
• Spacing: Give vigorous vines plenty of room, spacing hills about 4 to 6 feet apart in rows about 6 feet apart. Use supported slings if growing vertically.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during vine growth and fruit development. Reduce watering as melons approach ripeness to help concentrate flavor.
• Feeding: Apply compost or balanced fertilizer at planting, then shift toward a fruiting fertilizer once flowering begins.
• Pollination: Bees are essential for fruit set. Grow pollinator-friendly flowers nearby and avoid sprays during bloom.
• Harvesting: Expect maturity in approximately 90 days. Watch for a developed golden rind, strong aroma, and the fruit beginning to separate easily from the vine.
