Fruit Seed, Territorial Seed, 3 to 4 ft Minimum Spacing, Cucumis Melo, 65 to 70 days Harvest

This exquisite heirloom produces a bounty of early and true to its name, mini cantaloupes. Fruit measure 4 to 6 in across and have deep orange flesh that is succulent, sweet and delicious down to the rind. The ultimate melon for short-season areas and the compact plants are ideal for small space or container gardens.

• Melons and watermelons perform best in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6 to 7
• Soil temperature is critical for good germination and only recommended in warmer climates
• Start indoors in 4 in pots, 3 to 4 weeks before anticipated transplant date
• Cantaloupe will easily slip from vine when ripe
