Charentais Melon

This intensely fragrant French melon has smooth gray-green skin and deep orange, aromatic flesh. Start seed indoors three weeks before transplanting to gain a head start in short-season areas, handling the sensitive roots gently. Grow on black plastic mulch with row cover early to trap warmth, removing cover at flowering for pollinators. Reduce watering as fruit ripens to concentrate sugars. Harvest when the fruit turns yellowish, smells sweet, and slips easily from the vine. Спосіб посадки: Посів на розсаду вдома Відстань між рослинами: 18–24 дюймів Висота: 12–18 дюймів Дні до схожості: 5–10 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 24–32°C
