Tips for Growing Great Organic Melons
Plant organic heirloom melon seed only after soil temperatures have reached about 70 degrees or more.
We prefer to start in pots in the greenhouse and transplant later when night time temperatures stay above 55 degrees.
Heirloom melons need a rich, sandy soil high in organics.
Keep well watered until fruits are tennis ball sized and then water only if absolutely needed. (We know farmers that never water them and grow amazing melons, but a great deal depends on your soil.)
Remember, you must have a healthy population of pollinators like bees to get a good fruit set.
