Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Plant in full sun with at least 8 hours of direct light each day for strong vines and sweet fruit.
• Soil: Choose fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or aged organic matter. Melons perform best in soil that warms quickly.
• Timing: Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost when the soil is warm, or start indoors several weeks earlier and transplant carefully.
• Spacing: Give vines plenty of room, allowing about 6 to 8 feet between hills or guiding vines along the edge of a garden bed.
• Watering: Keep plants evenly watered during vine growth and fruit development. Water at the soil line and reduce watering as fruit approaches ripeness to help concentrate flavor.
• Fertilizing: Mix compost into the planting area and feed with a balanced fertilizer early in growth. Once vines begin flowering and setting fruit, avoid excessive nitrogen.
• Pollination: Encourage bees and other pollinators during flowering. Protect blossoms by avoiding insecticides when pollinators are active.
• Support: Let vines trail over mulch or a clean surface. If growing vertically, support developing melons with sturdy slings.
• Harvesting: Begin checking fruit near 100 days. A strong aroma, a slight softening at the blossom end, and easy separation from the vine are useful signs of ripeness.
