Features:

- Soil requirements: Cantaloupe melons prefer well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These melons require full sun exposure, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Watering requirements: Cantaloupe melons need consistent watering, especially during the growing season. Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering as the fruit matures to enhance sweetness.
- Planting season: The best time to plant cantaloupe seeds is in the late spring to early summer, after the last frost date has passed and the soil temperature is consistently above 70°F (21°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 4-6 feet apart. If using hills, plant 3-5 seeds per hill and space the hills 3-4 feet apart.
- Germination time: Cantaloupe seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Cantaloupe melons generally take about 70-90 days to reach maturity from the time of planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest cantaloupe melons is in the early morning when the temperatures are cooler, which helps preserve the fruit's flavor and texture.
- Harvesting tips: To determine if a cantaloupe is ready for harvest, look for a sweet aroma and a slight softening at the blossom end. The melon should easily detach from the vine with a gentle tug. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the vine if necessary. Store harvested melons in a cool, dry place and consume them within a week for the best flavor.
