Your cart is empty. Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart when they are 4 inches tall. Choose the strongest-looking seedling and cut the rest to the ground with garden scissors.
Set a cage around each seedling. For extra support, set a stake on each side of the cage, hammer them into the ground and attach them to the cage with garden twine.
Mulch between cages to conserve water
Water the vines at least once a week, checking between watering sessions to ensure the ground is moist to a depth of at least 3 inches.
Side-dress the vines about six weeks after planting. Rake aside mulch and set narrow bands of compost in rings around the cages. Water the area to allow nutrients to soak into the soil, then rake mulch back into place.

I have purchased three separate packets now , the first one I had no success but I assumed it was because I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing, so I ordered more... the quality of the seeds in the second packet seem to be a bit better and they did germinate well and the vines grew wildly, but ended up not producing very many flowers hence not very many melons. I have a third packet I'm going to attempt again soon.

Nearly every seed sprouted. We'll see how they keep growing (and into what) but great results thus far.

I didn’t start mine until late this season but did start them inside and all of them are thriving and producing so far. Mine were transplanted in early July out in to my garden. It’s now the end of August. Can’t wait to try them in a few weeks. I live in Northern Indiana. Will definitely plant again next year.

So these seeds came and there's no problem with the seeds. I germinated a few and all but one sprouted, and after planting most have already emerged and I'm confident the rest will to. This gets one star because of the packaging. The seeds arrived in a tiny cellophane envelope with no useful labeling. The envelope is the size of a postage stamp and was bar coded and a few words which in no way could be read to mean "Mexican," "sour," "gherkin," "cucamelon" or anything close to those things. Frankly, anything close to a plant. I decided to get these because I have a little more space than I'd expected so when they came everything else I'm planting this year was already germinated and planted. If I'd had anything else coming that week, if I'd had any other seeds to work with, if there was anything else in the package that I received, or if I'd gotten them two to three weeks earlier when everything else I'm growing this year was getting prepped for the greenhouse, if I'd gotten them two weeks before that and didn't open them right away, any ONE of those things and I wouldn't know what they are.

I have never had a entire package of seeds not produce a single seedling, but this was a frustrating first. I planted with other seedlings, under lights and warmth and moisture, and waited. Other things sprouted, but not these. So I tried again, and waited. And again, and then one last time. I had all the seeds spread across the seedling starter I use and not a single seed germinated after weeks of wasted time. And I was really looking forward to trying these.
