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.

These work great for home office.
Color: Gray, Size: 24" wide, 66" Tall
I was looking for something to block background for a home office, so I wouldn't have to use the distracting background filters. These work great and give my backdrop a more professional appearance. They are very easy to install. The box arrived with a few shipping holes, but packaging was sufficient to avoid any product damage.

Best no-show socks ever!
Size: 6-10, Color: Black
If you're tired of wearing socks that slip off and show in your sneakers, then you need to try these amazing socks! They are designed to stay in place, even after being active all day. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, and they are truly no-show, so you won't see them at all. I've been using these socks for years and have never had any issues. In fact, I love them so much that I've bought multiple packs, and my family members have started using them too. Don't waste any more time with those annoying socks that slip off and show - give these a try and you won't be disappointed!

The best
Size: 9-11, Color: Black
Seriously the best non slip low cut socks you can find. They stay in place all day and I love the fabric. They are thin which I prefer. These are really the only socks I wear.
