Planting / Sowing
Direct sow seed 15–20 mm deep into warm, well-drained soil in a sunny position, or start in pots and transplant carefully once the weather has warmed. Space plants 80–100 cm apart, allowing 2–3 m between rows or ample room for the vigorous vines to spread. Keep the soil consistently moist during flowering and fruit development, reducing watering as fruit reach maturity to maximise sweetness. Harvest when the nearest tendril has dried, the underside of the fruit turns creamy yellow and the melon produces a hollow sound when tapped.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
