Overview

Cantaloupes are a type of melon with a tan-green rind. They are a delicious, heat-loving melon with a relatively long growing season, making them especially well-suited for southern gardeners.

Conditions

Cantaloupes do best in well-draining soil that’s a mix between loamy and sandy. Amend the soil with aged manure or compost before planting, as cantaloupes are heavy feeders. For best quality crop, provide full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight per day). Cantaloupes also need ample vining space, so plan accordingly.

Planting

Cantaloupes are commonly planted directly in the garden once soil temperatures have reached at least 60°F. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific planting dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 7-14 days. 

Plant seeds ½" inch deep in groups of 4-6, with each group spaced 4-6 feet apart. Plant seeds in hills or hilled rows to help with proper drainage. Thin to plant per group as seedlings develop. 

Care

Row covers are a good way to keep pests like squash bugs and vine borers at bay.

While the plants are growing, blooming, and setting fruit, they need 1 to 2 inches per square foot of water (about 1.5 gallons) per week. Use a drip irrigation system or water in the morning. Reduce watering once fruits are growing, as dry weather produces the sweetest melons.

Prune vines once fruit begins to grow to ensure best quality melons.

Male flowers may arrive several weeks before females appear - don’t be discouraged when first blooms do not produce fruit. Melon flowers do require pollination, so if bees are limited you must self-pollinate flowers. 

Harvest

When rinds begin to change from green to tan or yellow, the melon is typically ripe enough to pick. Look for a crack in the stem where it attaches to the fruit. This is a sign of ripeness as well. The fruit should be easy to separate from the vine.

Durable, Long-Lasting, Doesn’t Fade in the Sun!!!
Size: 50 Inch, Color: black, Size: 50 Inch, Color: black
I’ve had this grill cover for almost a year now. But it last summer and it has been on my grill that is on open porch (no roof/overhang/cover protect protecting it from the elements). This particular area of the porch gets a ton of direct sunlight all day long as well. Needless to say, I am incredibly impressed by the material of this cover. It looks almost brand new even after a year of use and exposure to the elements. The fact that it didn’t even get faded in the sun a little bit blows my mind. Great product and excellent value! Highly recommend.

Just right grill cover
Size: 70 Inch, Color: black, Size: 70 Inch, Color: black
We just got a new grill that was quite wide. It can use propane on one side and charcoal on the other. While looking at covers I noticed many were priced well over $50. This one was not and I decided to try it. It’s a fantastic cover for our grill. It’s hem is sewen solid and the material is thick, and water proof. The size is perfect for my grill and I love the Velcro sides to keep water out during our Florida rain storms. I am very happy with my purchase.

Great cover!!
Size: 55 Inch, Color: black, Size: 55 Inch, Color: black
Best grill cover I've purchased. One year old, looks brand new! Last one was an expensive Cuisinart one. Two years and it was ripping to shreds from sun damage. In the pic, the smaller cover is a Cuisinart cover on an electric smoker and you can see it's faded to white on the top and not gonna last much longer! This grill cover looks and feels brand new! Sits in the sun everyday.
