Cantaloupe
The classic, sweet, and juicy Cantaloupe is a summertime favorite, known for its fragrant, orange flesh and smooth, netted skin. This melon thrives in warm weather and produces large, round fruits that are bursting with sugary sweetness when fully ripe. A perfect choice for fresh snacking, fruit salads, or even chilled desserts. Cantaloupe vines are vigorous growers and will produce abundant yields in full sun. This variety is a great option for gardeners looking to enjoy homegrown, flavorful melons with a smooth, creamy texture.
Planting Tips:
- Full sun and well-drained, sandy or loamy soil.
- Space vines 36-42 inches apart for adequate growth.
- Water deeply and consistently, but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
