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.

Good for Enthusiastic Chewers
Size: Medium, Color: Strawberry
I wasn't sure how long this toy would last with my beagle, but it has held up surprisingly well! My dog is rough on toys and usually destroys them pretty quickly, yet this one has survived lots of chewing, carrying around, and playtime. Definitely a great purchase for active dogs and enthusiastic chewers.

Tough Little Dog Toy
Size: Small, Color: Waffle
Interesting little toy. It’s pretty flat, which surprised me for some reason, but very thick and tough, and big enough for our small, aggressive chewer. Feels really substantial, Hoping we’ve found a toy that lasts.

It's a hit!
Size: Medium, Color: Strawberry
This can be a hit or miss. Believe it or not, my dachshund can tear through big dog toys, and he's had this one for almost 6 months now and loves it, chewing on it every day. He got to the stitching, but it still holds up well. Ordered another. I recommend this seller. PS - OCCASSIONALY WASH ALL THEIR TOYS!!!

Survived my dog… which almost nothing does!
Size: Medium, Color: Watermelon, Size: Medium, Color: Watermelon
I have a pit mix who is an expert-level destroyer of squeaky toys. Most “durable” toys last her maybe 5–15 minutes before the squeaker is gone. This one lasted a full HOUR of play (constant squeaking, chewing, and trying to find a weak spot) and she still didn’t manage to break it. That’s honestly unheard of for her. What I like: The flat shape makes it hard for her to get a good “kill grip” The squeaker isn’t easy to isolate and destroy It keeps her engaged instead of just ripping it open immediately She actually spent a lot of time just booping it with her nose to make it squeak, which she loves. I ended up putting it away before she could eventually destroy it, and I’ll be rotating it to make it last longer. It’s now a high-value toy in our house. If you have a dog that destroys every squeaky toy in minutes, this is absolutely worth trying. I’m already planning to buy more from this line.

Not for aggressive chewers
Size: Medium, Color: Carrot
This product is pretty strong, but my dog tore it apart in 5 minutes. The size is great, and my dog loved tearing it apart. I wish it lasted longer.
