HOW TO GROW: In cooler climates, melons may benefit from black plastic to warm the soil; mulch also helps to conserve necessary moisture, control weeds, and keep the melons clean. As the melon ripens, it will turn golden and become very fragrant; the stem should come off easily, and the blossom end should be slightly soft. The melon will keep for several weeks in a cool place. *** **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70F. **Plant Spacing: 5-6 feet, Row Spacing: 5-6 feet apart. **Planting Depth: 1/2" **Hardiness: Zones 4-10 **Sun Requirement: Full Sun / Part Shade. **Days to Germination: 14-20 days **Germination Rate: 96%.
