Planting & Care

Sow Korean melon seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 24-36 inches apart. For earlier harvests, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Provide a trellis or ample ground space for vines to spread.

Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when vines begin to run. Harvest when fruits are fully yellow and slip easily from the vine. Enjoy fresh or use in salads and desserts.
