Growing Muskmelon

When to Plant Muskmelon - Warm weather soil, May 20, in Zone 4.

How to Plant Muskmelon - Plant 1 ½ inch deep, about 2 to 3 seeds per and 20 to 24 inches apart in row.  These vine so need to have enough room.

After Planting Muskmelon - I mulch with meadow hay when plants are 6 inches tall.

Harvesting Muskmelon - There is a tendril at the stem of fruit, when this turns brown your melon is ready to harvest.  The vine will slip off the fruit.  Sometimes a gentle push is all you need to get it off the vine.
