Read the seed packet to find out how far apart to sow your seeds.
Cultural Information
Melons need to be sown in warm soil. Like pumpkins, they are best sown on
mounds, 1m apart. Sow 3 or 4 seeds where you want one plant, to ensure you
get that, then excess seedlings can be pinched out. A sdandy, well drained
soil of pH6 is ideal. While the vines are growing, they need plenty of
water and nutrients, so good soil preparation is essential. However, once
the fruit has set, too much water can lead to watery tasteless fruit.For
large, lush melons, allow a maximum of 3 fruits per vine before pinching
out the ends of the vines.
