Burrell Seeds 2018 Catalog

MELONS - HONEYDEW TYPE Honeydew, Casaba, Crenshaw, Canary, Ogen and Persian melon seeds may be planted directly in the ground when soil temperature reaches 65º and all danger of frost is past. Heavy feeders, they prefer a sandy loam amended with composted manure. In cooler climates, start seedlings inside, transplanting when putting out the rest of your warm weather crops. Planting in hills, 3’ apart in rows 5’ or 6’ apart is recommended. Seed should be planted at a 1” depth. Water at the base of the plant or with irrigation every two weeks until melons reach softball size. Drier soil at this stage improves sugar content. Unlike cantaloupes, honeydews do not slip of the vine. They need to be cut with a sharp knife. They are ripe when the skin is creamy white and waxy.
