Sowing

For optimal growth, sow the seeds of this melon variety in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Ensure regular watering and good air circulation to promote healthy germination and bountiful yields. The seeds exhibit strong germination capabilities, ensuring a plentiful harvest.

Sowing Depth

Sow the seeds at a depth of approximately 2 cm. This depth provides adequate moisture and soil stability, facilitating quick and effective germination. Avoid exceeding the recommended depth to prevent germination issues.

When to Sow Directly into the Ground?

The ideal time to sow the seeds directly into the ground is during May and June, when the soil temperature is favourable for seed development. Choose a sunny spot in your garden to ensure the best growing conditions.

When to Sow Under Cover?

For sowing under cover, April is the best month. During this period, seeds benefit from stable conditions conducive to proper development, allowing for an earlier fruit harvest.

Planting Time

Transplant seedlings to their final location in May. By this time, the weather conditions are stable enough for the plants to acclimate quickly, promoting healthy growth and abundant fruiting.

Spacing

Ensure adequate spacing when planting, with 100-120 cm between plants and 50 cm between rows. This spacing allows for sufficient light and air circulation, contributing to better yields and plant health.

Harvest Time

Harvest the fruits from July to September, when they reach their peak flavour and aroma. Regularly checking the fruits ensures they are picked at the optimal ripeness for culinary use.

Uses

This melon is perfect as a fresh dessert, an addition to fruit salads, or a component in summer cocktails. Its sweet, pineapple-like aroma and juiciness make it an ideal choice for hot days and a decorative element in dishes, adding unique character.
