Approx. 30 seeds/pkt (9-10 seeds/gram)

How to Grow
Culture is very similar to cantaloupe and muskmelon. Seeds require 5-10 days at a soil temperature of 24° C to germinate – any lower and germination will be inhibited. Sow 6-8 seeds per hill, 12 mm deep in hills spaced 1.8- 2.4 m from each other. After germination thin to 3-4 plants per hill. For best quality fruit never let the plants lack for water.
SCOUT IPPM
OSC Seeds recommends using SCOUT IPPM to evaluate pests and pollinator populations in your cucurbit crops. Developed in partnership with the University of Guelph and Pollinator Partnership Canada, the SCOUT IPPM app uses scientific data and government guidelines to set action recommendations for growers.
