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.

Very nice if you aren't too pick on actual color.
Size: Single Pelt/2 ft x 3 ft, Color: Blue
Colors may vary. I really liked this, it was the perfect size and that perfect combination of soft and fluffy, but not being "too fluffy" and looking like a shaggy dog that needed a haircut. My only complaint was the color. Supposed to be blue, and I know monitors and lighting distort stuff but this was an obvious turquoise/teal. Much much greener than I was looking for. I could have made any variant of an actual blue work from powder baby to practically navy, but not this. I had to return, but other than the color, this seemed to be a very nice rug. Sad the color was so off.

ITS SOOOO FLUFFY!!
Color: Orange
Ooouuu she’s so fluffy!!!!!! Omg, I’m in love. The color looks exactly as pictured. The gear shift cover was way too small for my RAV4 but it’s okay, it kind of interfered with the button to move the gear. Also, if you need to see the info on the dash, be aware that the steering wheel cover blocks it for the most part. I’m not bothered by it but it’s something to make note of for those who might be.

Warm and soft!!
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
So funky and cute! Matches my inferno orange car! I really only wanted the steering wheel cover & have no need for the other covers because they don’t fit on my shifter, or my parking break. Besides, it gets kind of dirty on the console. Keeping gloves in the car so it doesn’t end up dirty from my hands this winter:) It does make it a bit hard to see the ignition and some of the gauges as it is so fluffy, but it’s so funny, I don’t care! Lol
