What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Grow your melons with mindful, earth-friendly care. These plants absolutely thrive on warmth and consistent hydration.
-
Sow Indoors: Give your little sprouts a head start indoors 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost. Nurture them in quality, organic seed-starting medium.
-
Sow Outdoors: Wait until the soil is thoroughly warm before direct sowing.
-
Germination: Optimal seed germination occurs at a soil temperature of 24°C and takes 5 to 10 days. Cooler temperatures will inhibit growth.
-
Planting Depth: 12 mm
-
Spacing: Sow 6 to 8 seeds per hill, 12 mm deep. Space the hills generously at 1.8 m to 2.4 m apart. After germination, thin the weaker plants, leaving 3 to 4 strong plants per hill.
Find a sunny, well-drained spot. For the best quality fruit, never let the plants lack for water, especially once the fruit begins to swell. Harvest with intuition: when the under-side is golden and the skin is a deep, dark red.
