Green Thumb Guide
Plant in enriched garden soil 1-2 weeks after last frost. Leave 5'-6' of space between plant. Fertilize when transplanting and when flowers are about to bloom. Water early morning or late evening. Harvest melons when the surface turns a creamy color and becomes slightly soft. Cut from vine with shears to avoid damaging the plant. hydrofarm-174-2-way-ph-amp-moisture-meter,ebstone-organics-surestart,true-temper-174-garden-hoe,greenall-soilbooster,womans-work-weeding-gloves
