This easy growing specialty melon can be direct sown after all danger of frost, or started indoors 3-4 weeks before setting out. Melons take some space to grow and vine, so leave enough room for them to spread.
Thin growing seedlings to 1 foot apart for best growth.
Grow in rows spaced 3 to 4 feet apart or in \"hills\" with groups of 2 or 3 plants per \"hill\". Can also be trained on a trellis or fence to save space. Cantaloupes need a constant supply of water, and particular attention should be paid during summer dry spells.
Melons need to ripen fully on the vine. They do not ripen well after they are harvested. Cantaloupes develop a wonderful fragrance when they are ready to pick – you can't miss it. The fruit should slip easily from the vine and the blossom end should feel soft to the touch.
Cantaloupe is rarely bothered by pests and disease. It\'s best to rotate your melon crops each year ensuring that you are not planting in the same spot each year.
Legend has it that cantaloupe seed was brought to America on one of Christopher Columbus\'s voyages.
Cantaloupes are delicious and refreshing summer snacks as well as a gourmet breakfast and dessert specialty. They will last for a week or more in the refrigerator.
