Sowing Instructions

DIRECT SOW 1-2 WEEKS AFTER DANGER OF LAST FROST

Starting Indoors

2-4 WEEKS BEFORE LAST FROST IN BIO-DEGRADABLE POTS

Growing Tips

Hale's Best Jumbo Cantaloupe is a favorite of most gardeners. If you are planting directly in the garden, wait at least a week or two after last frost.

Hill planting works best, you can place up to 6 seeds per hill and thin to the best 3 plants per hill after they get established. If starting indoors, these melons will need to be started in peat pots as they do not transplant well.

Use mulch around the plants once transplanted or once seedlings sprout in the garden. This keeps the soil moist, warm and helps to suppress weed growth.

Culinary Uses

Commonly served cut or balled, great on a hot summer day.

Harvesting Crops

Wait until the harvest date approaches, your cantaloupe should turn a yellowish orange color. Check the end where the stem attaches to see if it is just slightly soft (if so, it's ready for harvest).

When the melons are ripe and ready to pick, they should come off the stem quite easily. Melons will need harvested daily once they begin to ripen. Make sure to refrigerate the melons immediately after harvesting.

Harvesting Seed

Harvest your seeds from the best performing melons. Wash the seeds off and allow to dry in a paper bag for a few weeks. Once completely dried, safely store your seeds in a cool dry place for use next season.

Does the job without many frills.
Color: Sand, Size: Queen
Looks like it would be warm and cozy. Looks good on the bed and is a decent cover. I can't speak to durability and so forth, was recently purchased and used. The price was about what I paid for my own micro mink sherpa comforter and the ones I own are thick and fluffy and super warm. This isn't the same quality, had I paid more attention, I'd have bought one like mine in the tan. Seems fair though so let's see.

Red is bright red
Color: Red, Size: King
The quality of this is wonderful. It did have a funny smell, which I didn't care for. Four stars for the red one, as the red is brighter than in the picture. It reminded me of a Santa Claus suit. I gave it away. My friend loves it.

Good purchase ! Loved it .
Cozy Nights, Guaranteed This dark blue fleece blanket is an absolute dream! It's the perfect weight for those chilly winter nights, keeping you toasty warm without being too heavy. The material is incredibly soft and feels like you're sleeping on a cloud. I love that it's machine washable, making it easy to keep clean. The color is rich and doesn't fade or bleed, even after multiple washes. I purchased the queen size and it fits perfectly on my bed, providing ample coverage. If you're looking for a cozy and practical blanket, I highly recommend this one!
