Green Thumb
Cultural practices : sow indoors in early spring. After about six weeks and when there is no more risk of frost on the ground, harden the seedlings and plant them in the garden.
Soil : they like well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.5 to 7, rich in organic matter, with a high level of humus and nitrogen.
Spacing : place the seedlings in small hillocks 1 m apart, in rows spaced 1 m to 1.5 m apart.
Growing tips : Protect them well from wind and cold in bells or plastic tunnels, until they are well established. Choose a warm site, in full sun. Pinch off the ends of the stems for faster ripening.
Harvest : melon is best harvested after a good period of sunshine, as that is when it will give its best. After a period of rain, you might end up with melons that are tasteless and less sweet. Finally, prefer a harvest in the evening rather than in the morning, after a beautiful sunny day, it is the guarantee of having sweeter melons.
