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.

Always Reliable and Good Quality
I’ve always used Q-tips, and they’re just better than most other cotton swabs. The cotton stays in place and doesn’t fall apart easily, and the sticks are sturdy without bending too much.I use them for everyday things around the house, quick cleanups, and personal care, and they always work well. The 500 count box also lasts a long time.Simple product, but consistent quality every time.

Essential household item with great quality
These Q-tips cotton swabs are a household essential that I always keep stocked. The 100% cotton tips are soft yet sturdy and perfect for so many uses from beauty to first aid. The 500 count package is a great value and lasts a long time. I appreciate the quality and consistency of the original Q-tips brand. These are far superior to generic cotton swabs in terms of quality and durability.

I only trust Q-Tip brand!! Great product. Never had luck with generic swabs.
I only trust Q-Tip brand!! This is a consistently great product. I've never had good luck with generic swabs, they either bend, don't have enough cotton on the end, or fray as I use them. These are soft tips, yet the stick is firm enough not to bend. I'll always go with Q-Tips and this 500 pack is a great value.
