Use only certified clean seed.This fungus causes lesions on roots and stems, along with yellowing of runners.
Intensely fruity, almost so much so that it smelled like a perfume.
Like I said, a long shot as I'm not an expert or anything but I hope it helps. I selected a dwarf type because of the shorter maturation period and my compact growing space.
It’s not the end of the world, though.
Too much rain will cause cantaloupe to grow into balls of bland-tasting flesh.
Thankfully, they’re relatively easy to spot because of their coloring. Planting in cool soil may lead to poor germination. Rotate crops and keep plants well watered.Aphids are nasty, sap-sucking insects that are tiny and not noticeable until there’s an infestation.
I was so excited to nurture it and even more excited to eventually pick and eat it, but my plans were thwarted by a very rude squirrel.The day I had planned to pick it, I grabbed my cantaloupe from its resting place and started to bring it into the kitchen to slice up but low and behold, the melon had been massacred.
Still, this crop may pose a challenge even for intermediate gardeners. Here’s what you need to know to be successful.These plants are sun lovers, so be sure to pick a well-lit spot in full sun to grow them.Soil should be neutral or slightly acidic, with a pH between 6.0-7.0, and it’s better if it’s on the sandy side. Keep whitefly away to avoid this disease.This disease shows up as mottling on the leaves and stunted growth.
This method of planting prevents water from pooling in one location and rotting the roots of the plant. In warmer zones, cantaloupe seeds can be direct sown in the early spring, but if you’re in a colder climate, you’ll want to start them indoors prior to transplanting to give the plants a head start. Use black plastic mulch to conserve heat and moisture. Watch Reply.
Keep plants about 3 feet apart.
started by PhilS46 That female flower is going to close up tomorrow so you might as well make use of those ready males while they are around. If all went well, in the case of watermelons, you should notice a big change in the female flower within a few days. The bees then buzz on over to the female flower where a little of the collected pollen falls off and fertilizes the female flower.

It’s not the end of the world, though. They munch on foliage and can spread disease. About a week after posting, I fed the plants, and within two days females were popping up all over!
Gently remove the male flower from its stem.Pull the petals carefully off the male flower so the stamen is easy to get to.
Keep using the open male flowers to fertilize as many female flowers as you can.Kayar Sprang has been a professional freelance writer and researcher since 1999. When plants are young, make sure to water evenly and avoid drought exposure.
