Recommendations :
Indoor sowing : 3 weeks before transplanting in the garden. (*)
(*) From 7 to 10 days after the date of the last ground frost.
Very attractive, medium-large fruits that are ready to cut from the vine when they are pale green to yellow. Tart, punchy and refreching flavor—the perfect balance of sweet and sour—sets it apart from other melons on the market. Excellent as a dessert or as an appetizer.
Green Thumb
Cultural practices : start seeds indoors in early spring. After about six weeks and when all risk of frost has passed, the seedlings should be hardened off and planted in the garden.
Soil : Melons need a well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.5 to 7, high humus content and a high level of nitrogen.
Spacing : place the seedlings in small hillocks 1 m apart, in rows spaced 1 m to 1.5 m apart.
Growing tips : make sure to protect young plants from wind and cold weather with cloches or plastic tunnels until they are well established. Soil should be rich in organic matter and kept moist. Choose a warm site in full sun. Pinch end of stems for faster ripening.
Harvest : when the cantaloupes have a sweet scent and their stems break easily, they are ready to be harvested.
