Green Thumb Guide
Plant in enriched garden soil 1-2 weeks after last frost. Leave 5′-6′ of space between plant. Fertilize when transplanting and when flowers are about to bloom. Water early morning or late evening. Harvest melons when the surface turns a creamy color and becomes slightly soft. Cut from vine with shears to avoid damaging the plant.
