Instructions
Winter melons have a long growing season and are usually harvested in late fall.
To get ahead, you may sow winter melon seeds indoors and transplant once soil temperatures have reached 60F.
If sowing directly outside, sow seeds in good quality potting soil once the temperature has reached 60F. Melons grow best in well drained soil.
Choose a sunny spot.
Do not put up a trellis: winter melons love to spread all over the ground so make sure you have enough space!
Water your winter melon on a regular basis, and make sure it has enough sun.
Other than that, winter melons are pretty non-fussy!
