Planting Instructions

• Seed Preparation:
  Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.

• Sowing:

  • Timing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date or sow directly in the garden after the last frost when the soil temperature is consistently above 20°C (68°F).
  • Depth: Sow seeds 1.5-2 cm (0.5-1 inch) deep.
  • Spacing: Plant seeds 45-60 cm (18-24 inches) apart in rows spaced 90-120 cm (36-48 inches) apart.

• Germination:

  • Temperature: Maintain a soil temperature of 24-30°C (75-85°F).
  • Time: Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days.

• Transplanting:
  When seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Then, transplant them to the garden, maintaining the same spacing as for direct sowing.

Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering as fruits mature to enhance sweetness.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
• Support: Provide a trellis or support if growing vertically to save space and improve air circulation.
• Harvesting: Harvest melons when they emit a sweet aroma, and the stem easily separates from the fruit with gentle pressure.

Happy Gardening!
