Wetsel Seed™ Burpee Cantaloupe Hybrid Muskmelon Seed
1,000 Seed Count
Sweet, juicy vine-ripened cantaloupes are a special treat from the summer garden. These delightful fruits require lots of heat and sunshine to mature to full sweetness and deep color.
Select a sunny, well-drained location and sow seeds in the late spring when soil has warmed. For an earlier crop, start seeds indoors 4-5 weeks before planting outdoors. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed. Keep soil moist and fertilize monthly. Mulch to conserve moisture. Pick when the blossom end is slightly springy and when the stem separates with a slight pull. For best flavor, ripen on the vine.
