40 + Canteloupe Seedings

Cantaloupe prefers full sun and a rich soil. They like warm weather. Soil should be kept moist.
Plant cantaloupe after the last frost in your area when the soil begins to warm. Planting in "hills" is common. Sow cantaloupe and melon seeds four to six seeds per hill. Sow 1/2 to 1 inch deep. Space the hills four to six feet apart. If you choose not to hill, sow seeds three to four inches apart. Row spacing should be five to six feet.
Seedlings can be started indoors. We recommend using peat pellets to help to minimize transplant shock.
After germination, thin and keep the three or four healthiest plants. The more compact "bush" types may tolerate closer spacing.
Fertilize plants regularly. Plants need a lot of water. Give them a good soaking once or twice a week.
