Planting Instructions:
Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained location in your garden for planting cantaloupes. Ensure there is ample space for the vines to spread.
Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by adding organic compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil and improve drainage.
Sowing: Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 2-3 feet apart in rows, or allow 3-4 feet between hills if planting in hills.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the leaves.
Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the fruits from soil contact.
Support: Provide support for the vines, such as trellises or slings, to prevent the fruits from resting on the ground and to promote air circulation.
Fertilization: Feed the plants with organic fertilizer or compost tea every few weeks to ensure healthy growth and fruit development.
Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for pests such as aphids and cucumber beetles. Use organic pest control methods and practice crop rotation to prevent disease.
Harvesting:
Cantaloupes are ready for harvest when they develop a sweet aroma, the stem end softens and detaches easily from the fruit, and the skin changes from green to yellowish-beige.
Use a sharp knife to cut the cantaloupes from the vines, leaving a short stem attached to the fruit.
Store harvested cantaloupes in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them for up to a week.
