Sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed above 70°F, or start indoors 3 to 4 weeks before transplanting. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart with 5 to 6 feet between rows to allow the vigorous vines room to spread. Maintain even soil moisture throughout vine growth and fruit development, reducing irrigation slightly as harvest approaches to encourage maximum sugar production. Full sunshine and fertile soil produce the sweetest harvests.

Harvest & Storage

Harvest when fruits develop a rich cantaloupe fragrance and naturally separate from the vine with gentle pressure. This "full-slip" stage signals peak ripeness and maximum sweetness. Refrigerate harvested melons for several days of excellent storage, though they are always at their finest when enjoyed shortly after picking.
