One of the best | | Positive | cowtrailrd | On Sep 4, 2006, cowtrailrd from Shawnee, OK wrote: I have a problem with turtles eating on the cantaloupe so last year I planted them in containers and let them run up a chainlink fence. This worked well so I just planted seeds in another area next to chainlink fence. By growing them on a fence when they fall they are ripe. | | Neutral | trifunov | On Oct 21, 2004, trifunov from Brandon, MS (Zone 8a) wrote: I have the seed for this melon from American Seed.
The packet says "Nearly round, 5-6 inches in diameter, weighing 3-4 pounds each. Days to germinate - 10 to 14d
Depth to sow - 1 inch
Seed spacing - 3 per hill
Row spacing - 4-6 ft
Days to harvest - 90 to 102d
Sow after last danger of frost, thin each group to 3 or 4 plants per hill when plants are 1-2inches in height. For early starting, start plants indoors about 4-6 weeks before outdoor planting time, each peat pot should contain 3-4 seeds." | | Neutral | Farmerdill | On Nov 13, 2003, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: A large 5-6 lb.
