The listing, 100 Organic Cantaloupe Seeds for 2013 planting has ended.

Plant 2-3 weeks after last frost.

Before you plant your seeds or transplant your seedlings, choose a well-drained site with full sun and one that is protected from strong winds. Most cantaloupe varieties like to spread out so construct dirt mounds approximately 4 to 6 feet apart. Adding a couple cups of mulch or manure to the hill will encourage early growth. If planting seeds outdoors, plant 6-8 seeds per hill. When the seedlings are about 4-6" tall, thin to the 3 strongest seedlings. If you started your seeds indoors, plant 3 seedlings per hill. Spread straw or mulch around plants to discourage weeds and help keep the ground warm.
