Growing tips

Sow melons in seed trays or pots approx. 6 weeks before transplanting them outside. Cultivate at a temperature of 20 °C. After the last frost, transplant the seedlings with the entire root ball into compost-enriched soil. Plant at a distance of 1 m in all directions. Sowing outdoors is possible under the same conditions if the soil is well warmed up and the outside temperature no longer falls below 15°C. Melons need plenty of light and warmth to ripen before frost. Further growing tips for the type of sugar melon.
