Sowing Instructions

DIRECT SOW 1-2 WEEKS AFTER DANGER OF LAST FROST

Starting Indoors

2-4 WEEKS BEFORE LAST FROST IN BIO-DEGRADABLE POTS

Growing Tips

Hale's Best Jumbo Cantaloupe is a favorite of most gardeners. If you are planting directly in the garden, wait at least a week or two after last frost.

Hill planting works best, you can place up to 6 seeds per hill and thin to the best 3 plants per hill after they get established. If starting indoors, these melons will need to be started in peat pots as they do not transplant well.

Use mulch around the plants once transplanted or once seedlings sprout in the garden. This keeps the soil moist, warm and helps to suppress weed growth.

Culinary Uses

Commonly served cut or balled, great on a hot summer day.

Harvesting Crops

Wait until the harvest date approaches, your cantaloupe should turn a yellowish orange color. Check the end where the stem attaches to see if it is just slightly soft (if so, it's ready for harvest).

When the melons are ripe and ready to pick, they should come off the stem quite easily. Melons will need harvested daily once they begin to ripen. Make sure to refrigerate the melons immediately after harvesting.

Harvesting Seed

Harvest your seeds from the best performing melons. Wash the seeds off and allow to dry in a paper bag for a few weeks. Once completely dried, safely store your seeds in a cool dry place for use next season.

Smaller than expected

My dog likes it; but I thought it was going to be bigger than it is. It is the blue ball pictured on the right compared to a normal size soccer ball on the left.

My dog’s favorite toy and mine!
Size: Basketball
My Min Pin loves this ball! It’s durable, chewable and (my favorite) toss able in the house! Since it’s soft, it doesn’t make noise when it bounces across the floor or hits a wall or the door. Best indoor throw toy ever!

Puppy loves it! We have had hours of fun with it.
Size: Billiards
My puppy loves it! It’s soft, squishy and squeaks. I would have given 5 stars but some threads on the 8 started to come out (not completely) after a few days, but it still seems well made and we have had had many hours of fun with it.
