Description

Non hybrid

Growing tips

Growing and planting melons requires a lot of warmth. It is best to let them climb on the ground and place the fruit on a wooden board or straw mulch. Remove the tops after the 4th leaf at the earliest. Cut the side shoots that have then grown from the leaf axils after the 3rd leaf.
