Instructions

  • Winter melons have a long growing season and are usually harvested in late fall.
  • To get ahead, you may sow winter melon seeds indoors and transplant once soil temperatures have reached 60F.
  • If sowing directly outside, sow seeds in good quality potting soil once the temperature has reached 60F. Melons grow best in well drained soil.
  • Choose a sunny spot.
  • Do not put up a trellis: winter melons love to spread all over the ground so make sure you have enough space!
  • Water your winter melon on a regular basis, and make sure it has enough sun.
    Other than that, winter melons are pretty non-fussy!
