What you need to know to Plant & Grow
The seed needs a warm soil to germinate properly, so take care with your timing.
Planting: Seeds germinate in 5 to 10 days at 21°C. Since soil in many regions doesn’t reach this temperature until late May to mid-June, you can start seeds indoors up to three weeks early. Use a soil-less seed starting mix and plantable peat or paper fibre pots, as seedlings do not transplant well from bare root.
Care: Harden off seedlings before moving them outside to a fully sunny site. Feed with a good quality vegetable fertilizer shortly after transplanting and keep the melons evenly watered throughout the growing season. To harvest, gently apply pressure between the stem and the fruit.
